I have an inexpensive Cateye combo kit that Amazon currently sells for $27. Bought mine at a local bike shop and it was probably similarly priced. Still use it. Still works. I'm sure Target will have something comparable.
As for butt pain, yeah it'll stop after a week or so if you keep riding!
I commute to work on my hybrid, but I also own a road bike and like to cover some distance too.
In terms of lights, I just got a set of these for myself (think mine has a slightly better back light, but it's basically the same) and my girlfriend. So far they've been fine in the rain and I've been fairly impressed with them for the price. I only use one pair, although people say two is better in case one fails - fair point, but I tend to risk it.
If you're going to be in the rain, get a decent light waterproof jacket. I've got a fairly cheap yellow one from mountain warehouse which does the job.
If you're doing long distances, you'll probably want some padded shorts (and possibly some tights/leggings to go over them in the winter), I picked up a pair from an Aldi cycling sale for about 8 quid. Some decent ones can be had from places like Wiggle for around £20 (dhb tend to be decent quality for a decent price).
For things which are less essential: fingerless gloves are good when it's cold/windy and clear (or yellow-ish) glasses can be great for stopping things hitting you in the eye (e.g. I cycle along a beachfront most days so when the wind is up I tend to get sand in the face).
Another thing you might consider if you want to take stuff with you: a rack and panniers. That gets the weight off your back/shoulders. On top of that you could consider some mudguards.
These are all things you'll probably just naturally progress to as you start going further and cycling in less than optimal conditions - it's a nice gradual creep into your wallet :P
In terms of safety: just get yourself some lights and make sure you keep your bike maintained (clean & lubricate your chain regularly, make sure your brake surface is cleaned occasionally, learn to adjust your brakes as the pads wear down, etc).
Hope that helps!
