    As always it depends on your character class. Anything to increase your AC is always good, as well as healing and buff stuff. Beyond that it's your choice.
    A lot of stuff you will find throughout the game, and as you progress you'll find even better stuff so it's up to you how much you buy. I went for the minimalist approach and was very careful going through Undermountain until I felt I could be a little more reckless ;)
    If you're a spellcasting class, I can't recommend the craft wand feat enough it's probably the single most used feat my spellcasters use.

    I personally just used haste and empowered firebrands, and maximized greater missles storms (240 damage, yow!) but to each to his own. ;)


    As for starting items, I would say anything to increase your AC, other than that it really won't matter as only a few parts of the 1st level of the Undermountain are hard, and for the most part you will find better gear than you can buy.

    Another thing to keep in mind is that until you reach chapter two (or is it just the second level of Undermountain?), you'll be able to return to Waterdeep to buy more if you find you've forgotten something. I'd recommend it, in fact, as you'll find gear to sell to finance items of your own choosing.
