I would recommend all of them except for the gels because, as you said, you can DIY your own very easily and $30 for 10 gels isn't a very good deal. I think the grid and snoots are a great deal for the money. I've made my own before and none looked as good or were nearly as portable as the Honl versions. disclaimer: I bought one of the gel kits, a couple of the velcro straps, 2 snoots and a grid.

Your own advice is "Once you have the velcro strap system, you could then go to any theater lighting store and choose from thousands of colors and with a little DIY work, make your own gels with velcro and all " so I am not sure why 10 gels for $30 would be a recommended product. If the $30 gel kits included a velcro strap for the speedlight, I could see why you would recommend it, but they don't. not sure why you’re recommending the $30 gel kits, they don’t actually come with the velcro strap so you’ll need to buy that separately.

A worthwhile investment.

I also have a lot of their other attachments that I also use. Great system even though you would probably make parts of it for cheap, I am also going to support them as I want them to keep churning out the nifty tools I love mine and use it quite often.
