 I play rack for marching band, and my brother has a drum set [he's not a percussionist] so I'll give it my best shot:
 ~ Hi-hat
 ~ Crash (16" - 18")
 ~ Ride (20"+)
 ~ Splash (About 6" to 10", screw them on firmly.)
 ~ China (If you like. They sound pretty cool.)
 
 (Also, keep a cymbal bag with you -- they're heavy when you get the cymbals in, but they help out a bunch.)

 Zildjian and Sabian are my recommended brands. Sabian makes good rides and crashes, while Zildjan makes good splahes. Hi-hats I haven't had much experience with, so you're on your own.
