Big Dave has valid questions and it really depends on your skill level, where and how you intend to fish, etc. However, since you are asking the question, I'm assuming you may note use conventional type reels now,so I'll give you my .02
Get your self (2) abu 6500 C3s, load them with Mono and fish them out of the box (no modifcation).
1) Abu 6500 C3s b/c they are affordable, readily available, and offer all you need
2)2 reels, b/c you'll probably get into many bird's nests starting out and changing reels is very simple to do.
3) Mono b/c it is easier to use on a conventional than braid, especially when starting out. Braid will "dig in" where the mono doesn't and you will avoid expensive line replacement when you start getting wind knots and breaking off plugs.
5) Use them out of the box, b/c Abus offer lots of opportunites to modify the reel. Maybe after a season or 2, you'll want to experiment with some. Just do a search on this forum or other sites and find loads of ideas. Caution, I don't think you'll benefit from those modification until you become a more profecient caster which is why I'm suggesting you use your reels out of the box for a season or two first.
Good luck
