Default Equipment suggestions

Hi all,

It's time to replace my old bench and I was hoping I could get some guidance on good brands and styles. In the very least I'm looking for a sturdy bench (adjustable for flat and incline), squat rack, leg extension/curl unit and lat bar pulldown unit. In addition to olympic plates I have 1" plates for the leg curl and lat pulldown device so I don't need to pay more for a machine that comes with its own stack of weights. I lift by myself in my basement so I need a bench and squat rack that comes with some sort of safety bars so if I can't make a rep I can rest the bar on some supports and not crush myself to death. I have limited space so I thought an all-in-one free weight unit would probably be best unless I can locate different peices very close to one another. Here is a link to one unit that I thought looked good. Any comments on this unit would be great and if anyone has a better unit or knows of one they feel would be better please let me know.

I've only been lifting for about four months and not sure what would be best to purchase. Thanks for any help you can provide.
