This is what you want. It's genuinely miraculous compared to anything else I've tried (though the 6mm sewn sterling isn't awful). Super smooth when rappelling but it grabs really, really hard when you let go. I use the 13.5 inch one and it's just right.

Sterling hollow block FTW.

A lot of places you'll want more draws than 12. Normally I carry 2-4 alpine draws which are great for use under roofs and such. It's nice to have slings anyway, for backing up your PAS before going off belay or anchoring to a tree at a sketchy belay ledge, or whatever.
For rappelling autoblocks or emergency ascending, sterling's hollow autoblock loops are the best thing ever. I use the shorter 13.5 inch version.
You'll likely want a stick clip. Get the superclip, not the trango one.
I prefer a tarp to a bag. Personal thing, but it's nice to be able to strap it to any pack and easier to keep the rope off the ground while belaying. Trango's is good. Otherwise, for a bag you might as well use the $2 ikea one.
Helmets. Suck it up. Newbies are usually on routes with more flipping/headbanging/rockfall potential than on steep overhanging 12's.

I really like the sterling hollow block for use as a third hand or prusik. I use the 13.5 inch.
