umbrellas are a ton cheaper but you lose some light strength using them, since they don't effectively reflect all of the light from your strobe. i'd start with umbrellas b/c of cost.
also, don't buy a cheap off-brand strobe set off of ebay. you will regret it later when you realize you can only change the power by 2 f-stops and you have a tiny selection of light modifiers. either buy some decent used stuff from a big brand with a lot of accessories available (speedotron, novatron, alien bees/white lightnings, etc.) or start with the shoemount flash you already have, until you get some experience and know what you want.
sorry for monopolizing your thread
