I would first seek out a good instructor.
Your instructor will know a lot more about what you need and what will work for you.

Really good instructors are hard to come by, especially at the entry level.
At least my experience, seems every yoyo can get an OW-I ticket.
That aside, most are attached to stores in one way or another, which means
they sell what they have in stock. And many L.A. dive store monkeys wouldn't
know a backplate if you hit them over the head with it. Much less how to thread it.
Rebreathers? Right. some don't allow nitrox on their trips. F***ing dark ages.
You will get fins in 5 shades of pink, though.
