Ebay is a bit hit and miss so you are probably much better off dealing with a reputable person from this board when it comes to 2nd hand kit.
I would agree with the DIN and that both Scubapro or Apeks regs will be a good buy that lasts a lifetime. But the Mk25 is top of the range ££££. At the other end the Mk2 will give good service and is fine for diving down to about 40m. The 300 series 2nd stage is plenty good enough for both main and octo.

Scubapro can be bought as seperate 1st and second stages so it would be possible to upgrade to Rob's choice at a later stage, bit by bit.
