Whatever brand of gear you decide to go with, its a BIG plus if you can get it serviced locally.
Your choices of gear in Malta will be considerably different from elsewhere.
What kind of goodies are sold there locally?

well, if your talking about brands, i could say that most bc's are from mares, but u can find just about anything i think. UWATEC computers are quite impressive, then again there are many brands. SUUNTO are good aswell. ive got to say that mares is most popular i think.. Aqualung is increasing in popularity aswell

Read magazine reviews, manufacturers product literature, do a search in this forum for gear reviews and discussion, talk to different divers and shops. Ask questions. This way you will learn of the choices available.
You will find that all gear has pro's and con's. Based on the type of diving you plan on doing choose good quality and you can't go wrong. If you do not inform yourself of the choices avilable you may then soon find yourself wanting something else you did'nt know about. Something you obviously want to avoid.
One more thing, once you narrow down your choices, if at all possible try it. Keep in mind that it takes time to get used to some gear, ei. fins. What feels the easiest to use at first may not be the best for you once you get accustomed and learn how to properly use it.

I'm also in the middle of assembling my kit. Since most of the questions I had have been discussed time and time again on the boards, I found it really useful to just search on keywords.
For instance, you want to know about the apeks atx200. Perform a search on that, and I guarantee you will find PLENTY of relevant threads, from thorough run-downs of the apeks line, to comparisons between apeks and other brands, to reports from the field from folks who just dove their new atx200, etc.
Good luck!

Choosing the right equipment is a critical component of diving safe and enjoying it. Check out the GUE's website on choosing your gear as they approach it in the "Doing It Right" concept.
