Which bogu should I get?

Which is better quality for the money?

I'm also wondering about the do sizing. I'm 5'8'' and have a 29 inch waist. Which size should I go for...

And should I get any of the protectors they add?

Why didn't you just tag this onto your other thread?

1) Ask your sensei
and
2) consult ebogu about size

Contact AOI Bogu and inquire whether they still have those white or navy 3mm Machine Stitch bogu sets with pre-made measurements. If they fit you, I would recommend you get it. It is really a bargain.
If AOI do not have those bogu sets anymore, I would recommend you getting at least the 4/2 mm and not the 5/2.5 mm.

I really can't afford that. My budget is $350, and that is really pushing it right there. Is there a problem with the one I listed? Will it break in a year?

Nevermind, I take back the comments I made in the above post. The 5/2.5mm bogu set from e-bogu is a fine beginner set. Nonetheless, check with AOI Bogu to see if they still have their navy/white 3mm machine stitch bogu set in stock. They are 350/300 dollars respectively, with free shipping; granted that it is your correct size. If it is, it is quite a bargain. If not, I think you will be happy with the 5/2.5mm from e-bogu. Much luck, and remember never to give up.
