People buy mason jars because they are better jars, not because they didn't realize pickles come in jars.

Some plastic rings (optionally). Cause the metal bands rust easily

The easiest airlock system are the silicone lids. Some have nipples. Others are flatter like these:

I would skip getting the separate plastic airlocks that brewers use because they take up space, are messy, and if the straw part extends into the liquid, it pushes mess up.
And then some glass weights, preferably with easy to grab parts

There are kits that have all of these which may or may not be cheaper. None of the brands I linked above are special other than I do like “Ball” brand mason jars. Everything else has lots of competitors selling more or less the same thing, so just pick what looks cheapest, has good reviews, etc.
also, u/time_bot, these aren't necessary but I've enjoyed these products in my experimentation:
reusable bag from anvoa
cereal box I use this as my main sous vide container, I don't trust it at high temps or for a long time but its BPA free and the flap comes off so it's been handy. Joule fits fine and balances well. Probably not the best product but my pans are a huge hassle to dig out for a quick three hour cook so this has been a blessing.
something like these Mason jars are working very well for baking or sweets, just make sure you close them just enough to keep them water tight but open enough to let air escape. Anova explains why here
I got something like this to protect my counter top since I heard you could really mess it up if you don't have a sort of barrier. I'm sure my cook top would be fine but why not.
if I think of anything else I'll get back to you but these have been awesome

I have these, pint and half, and pint sized. The half pint size is nice for small scraps but the new [squat] (http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aamm_prd/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-joann-product-catalog/default/dw5877cbb0/images/hi-res/11/11981222.jpg) jar design doesn't allow it to seal properly. You have to get a shape like [this] (https://www.missmouseboutique.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ball_half_pint_wide_mouth_mason_jar.jpg)
