Thick = Good even heat
Seamless = Better construction.
Disc bottoms are found on cheaper cookware.

I get these from a kitchen supply store.
They are stronger, easier to clean and most of all cheaper than retail.
Except for the tongs, I don't like the industry ones, they aren't that sturdy.
Oxo good grips is one of the best ones out there. At $15ish, it's worth every penny.

Side note, Don't get a glass or bamboo cutting board (too hard and will pre-maturly dull your knives). Look for a good wood board or plastic synthetic.

Yep.
You don't need a lot of knives.
Chef, paring, and bread. That's all you really need.
Heck, I only got a bread knife this year.

Go to Granville 12th area.
Williams Sonoma, Ming Wo, House of Knives, Cookworks, all within walking distance of each other.
