for starting out your best bet is the whisker biscuit. full containment. which mean the arrow cant fall off. and easy to sight.
sight= starting out i would go with a truglo. not expensive but still gets the job done

In my opinion I would just get a drop away rest, like a QAD ultra or a Vapor Trail Limb Driver which is what I use and love it. While the whisker biscuit is a good rest for a beginner it has its downsides. For example, if its colder out and its rain/snow mix the rest has a good chance of freezing up, I have friends this has happened to. Also, I just don't feel comfortable with something touching my arrow on release, which is why I prefer the drop away rests. By all means go with what you think is best. Sight wise, it just depends on far out you want to shoot I suppose. I have a 3-pin cobra sight that is set at 10,20, and 30 yards, and I like it. But that is just my 2 cents.

I just changed my whisker biscuit to a new rest called the Tri-van rest, that I really like.
It has 3 sets of bristles that contain the arrow but slide back into the rest once you shoot, like a drop away.
Not sure if I can put the web address on here or not but you can Google it.
