A lot of people with recommend Faritex, but for the money (quality is virtually the same) you can't go wrong with Twins. I've had several Twins gloves and never a bit of problems.

If you get more into it, I'd definitely recommend 2 pairs of gloves. 10-12oz for bags/pads and 16oz for sparring
I'm currently using a pair of 16oz Boons for sparring and love them. Twins 16oz gloves are huge and pillowy which can be good for sparring but a bit cumbersome for bags/pads. Boons are a bit more compact but still have plenty of padding. Fairtex aren't awesome for sparring since they have less knuckle padding and are a bit harsh on your partners. I've also heard good things about Top Kings.
As for shinguards I'm partial to (as are most people at my gym) the King/Top King shin guards. I prefer the original King versions since they have padding over the ankle and not just elastic connecting between the foot and shin pad

Here's a review and vid I made of the Boon gloves. Best Thai gloves out right now IMO. I also did one of the Top Kings.

I'll ad on to this.
For bag work, don't worry about spending a crap load of money on bag/pad gloves. Just get whatever $19.99 deal they have. I'm not sure where you're located, but even some POS Everlast gloves you can pick up at Target for 20 bux will work.
