Sounds like you've done your research :)
I also don't recommend the kit, as the lamp and water conditioner is unnecessary, and repti sand is way more dangerous than regular sand. I would definitely just stick to paper towel or repti carpet as a beginner!
Make sure to gut load the mealworms before feeding them to the gecko, I recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/R-Zilla-SRZ100011598-Cricket-Insect-4-Ounce/dp/B004LO7MO8/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1474434387&sr=1-1&keywords=insect+gut+load. As far as supplements go, it's best to dust feeder insects with calcium + d3 powder twice weekly, and to leave a dish of plain calcium powder (no d3) in the cage.
If you have any reptile expos happening nearby you soon, those are my preference for buying animals! I'm hitting the Sacramento Reptile Expo next weekend, thinking about getting a blue tongued skink. In general, just make sure your animal is active and bright-eyed with a fat tail. And older is better, brand new babies can ail and die very quickly!
Good luck and let us know if you have more questions!
