My friend and I had been brewing extract for a while now and we just upgraded to a 10 gallon all grain set. We're debating on whether or not to brew our first all grain batch using a kit or just following a recipe. Our local supply store doesn't always have the ingredients we want (especially hops). We love the pale and IPA style. Any suggestions?
New to all grain

midwest makes great kids, so does northern brewer - although they seem a little more expensive. if it's your first all grain I would get a kit and make it as simple as possible
I haven't brewed with a kit in years, but this one looks great

a kit is a preassembled recipe, there is no shame in using them. Sometimes I want to go back to extract to take my long brew days down to only a few hours.
best hops choices are bulk hops, get a few pounds of cascades and other cheap C hops for a few bucks, they will last you a long time. Welcome to the forum.

Unless you have a mill, try to order the kit right before you brew. Crushed gains have a short shelf life. Uncrushed are good for months when properly stored.
