I would start with...
28-gallon bowfront
Seachem Tidal-110 HOB filter
Nicrew LED bar light
Vivosun 300w Titanium heater
The tank looks nice, and then later when the obligatory upgrade bug bites, it makes a very nice looking and appropriately sized QT setup.
The Tidal-100 HOB includes plenty of capacity for biomedia, super easy to service, has adjustable flow rate and adjustable balance between siphon and skimmer functions. IMHO best HOB made.
The economy bar light makes a great garage workbench light when you upgrade to a bigger or reef tank.
The economy titanium heater is a workhorse, and can realistically make the move to something bigger later on. And titanium is THE way to go for breakage/damage resistance. Newbies smack stuff around often.
