Bronze looks cooler but that's about it.
Banded ac isn't really that much lower and weighs a ton less. If you need that plate look I'd only get visible slots.
I would not waste your money on stat gear. Your first investment should be banded armor, decent weapon, and then 5ac/55hp rings in that order. Banded set 91plat, decent weapons can be had for as low as 20-50pp per. A set of rings 500. You'll get a lot more mileage out of your cash taking this approach, and not being encumbered by bronze will same more room in your backpacks for loot.
After that start saving for haste while keeping an eye open for really good deals.
If you're new to p99 - don't neglect bind wounds. Keep a few stacks on you and use at every opportunity. It's not hard to keep maxed unless you always group with a healer. It may not seem like much at first but around 20 you're already binding for 25-30 a pop.
