Combine weapons are hard to go wrong with because they sell back to the vendor (except the staff, apparently) for 90% or better of their original cost. Hence they can be treated like a rental w/ deposit. In the specific case of a Combine Longsword, that means a single Greater Lightstone drop has in effect paid for the weapon.
Banded armor is alright.
Don't bother worrying overmuch about a good shield. Warriors earn Dual Wield at level 13 so by the mid teens you'll either be swinging a 2-hand weapon or two 1-hand weapons for the most part. Unlike some other games, shields are NOT necessary and in fact are only very rarely used at all by Warriors beyond the lowest levels.
