Somewhat along the lines of what Renegade said, my suggestion would also include encouraging people to figuring out what look or impression they're trying to achieve instead getting a hodge-podge clusterfuck of mismatched gear.
Mix and match is great for a noob on a budget (or any player on a budget that just wants to get out and play), but the fact you are suggesting some fairly pricy stuff, they might wanna a coherent setup. e.g., if you're going to go and spend money on an IBA and assorted MOLLE pouches for it (even with a repro IBA it's still going to cost you close to $300 when all is said and done), you may want to consider getting a US pattern BDU, MICH/ACH, etc and do a proper-ish US Army impression. (versus, say, IBA + fleck BDUs & shemagh + AK47)
Personally, unless people have a really good idea what they want to do, I think they should go out and play a few times, and see what they need/want to carry around. The only basics you need are your gun, your mags, something to carry your mags, and something to carry water. Everything else is personal preferences and luxury.
