I use inexpensive hand me down stuff so I don't know what to say as far as brands. That should be fairly easy once your looking at stuff to compare. I could take a picture tomorrow with something to reference size to the basic tools. You already have the expensive part , the vice. Get premium bucktail or look and compare the quality of premium and regular bucktail. Feathers are called saddle hackle, their is also peacock used to make sand eel teasers. You'll understand better when you see this stuff and the names when you shop for this stuff.
When I said good end I meant the outside end as opposed to the end you cut with the scissors. Don't sweat it, once you have some visuals of this stuff you'll understand better.

I would second finding a beginner class. If you have some of the tools already it shouldn't be terribly expensive and you'll learn the techniques for different types of flies that you can then apply to your own creations. I tie flies infrequently, but when I come back to my vice I find it's really easy to recall the steps, knots, layering, stacking, etc.
