Most reasonable sources for:

SFI fire suit rated 3.2A/1 or higher.
neck collar, gloves and shoes.


totally new to this - don't need the most durable as will be limited use, but need to meet safety on a budget.

sugestions - experiences with manufacturers appreciated

You can get a 3.2A/1 suit for less than $200. But you might want to look into what the ratings actually mean and how much time each rating gives you in a fire.

If you are looking for a cheaper suit. You could always check G-force outlet store.

If you're looking for budget items, you really don't need the neck collar. Also consider that the lower priced suit are usually much heavier than higher quality. Running in the midwest in July and August you'll be wishing you ponied up a bit more $$ for a good suit. They can last a long time (mine is 6 or 7 years old) so the annual cost isn't all that much.
