So I've decided on my snorkel and mask set, but what about fins? What are the best to go with?

The snorkel and mask set that I've decided to go with is the U.S. Divers Sideview Mask and Snorkel Combo. It doesn't have a purge in the mask, but that's okay, there is one in the snorkel, along with a valve that completely prevents water from getting in. The problem is...what fins do I get?

Fit is going to be your primary concern. After that it all comes down to your kick style. People tend to kick a little different from one another. There are two primary types of fins on the market at the moment.

1/ Split fins. For some people, this type of fin provides speed and less leg fatigue.They come in several "stiffness" grades. They don't work with my kick style though so I don't use them. I find I go nowhere fast. It may be different for you.
2/ Blade style fins. This is a traditional fin. Some are stiffer than others requiring a little more leg work but faster speed. Less stiff blades require less leg work but you move a little slower since some of your leg energy is bled off and wasted as the fins flex. I personally use stiff Aqualung Blades. They simply work best for my kick style and I don't fatigue.

The next thing to consider in fins is open heel or closed. You can get the above types of fins in either configuration. Closed heel means you wear the fin barefoot or with water socks on. Open heel fins require the use of booties. Your choice here depends on the temperature of water you're in. Closed heel doesn't provide your tootsies with much insulation. Open heel does because you're wearing a boot that's typically 5mm in thickness.
Bottom line...beg borrow or steal as many different fins as you can and try them out before you purchase anything. Find what works for you...not what works for someone else.

Edit: By the way, having a purge in the snorkel won't help you purge your mask. :) You don't need a purge in a mask anyway, they're easy enough to clear even underwater if you use the proper technique. Tilt your head up, lift a bit of the bottom part of the mask skirt away from your face and blow out your nose a little bit. It'll displace the water in there, forcing it out.
