Welcome to the crazy club. It can get crazy.
I'm sure you'll get a bunch of responses...this topic has been covered many times over so I suggest you first do a search along with the post.
I have an ERA and am super happy with it on many levels including originality. Originality was the number one factor for me and ERA is in my home State so it was a no brainer. Everyone will have their own opinion. Many factors, most important is your budget. From there you can back into a kit.
