So do I go with Ball Lock or Pin Lock? is there a noticable difference since I dont have any tubing or connections yet?

Find a source of one or the other and buy as many as you'll need. The only real differences are that pin locks tend to be slightly shorter and fatter than the ball locks. Get threaded fittings for your QDs and you can easily swap between the two types (and also with a sankey tap if you'd like).

Should I try used first or just order new kegs?

Buy used, and then replace all of the gaskets (unless the source came with new gaskets installed).

Adventures in Homebrewing is where I bought all of my kegs, though the prices have doubled in the time since I bought mine.
