Hi Jf, like M9 and Patto say,
if you want to get into lead climbing, your first thought should not be about the gear, but about how you're going to learn, and who you're going to do it with. Seconding with experienced climbers imho is a great first step, that's how I started learning early this year.
Questions about gear can come later, and the answer (for purchasing) seems pretty obvious once you've started using and interacting with gear from other people's racks and learn (in practice) what each item is for, how it performs, what aspects of it are important, etc. Plus, you might, like a couple of people I've met, decide soon after buying all the gear (before trying it) that lead climbing isn't for you.
