If your jacket has a full circumference zipper, make sure to get pants that will use it. If you ever do get off and slide feet first or tumble, the jacket will ride up on your back exposing some pretty soft and vulnerable skin and organs. Also, I would go with a separate back protector that has shoulder straps and waist belt. Feels funny at first riding with it, but after a while, you will be uncomfortable without it.
Woodcraft frame sliders are usually pretty good. Good sturdy material and bolts that don't shear off.
While you are pricing stuff, don't underestimate the value of a good roadrace school. No matter what your skill level or how long you have been riding, there is always something to learn.
