Stanley has made some pretty good planes. I'd suggest you try and find a vintage one in decent condition (you can even get some off ebay reasonably) and tune it up. Hone the base and sides, clean off any rust, take it all apart and get the sawdust out (especially from the mating surfaces for the frog), soak the screws in some solvent and clean em off, hone the iron cap so it lies flat, sharpen and hone the blade (or buy a good replacement if it needs it [Lee Valley/Veritas has good ones]).
Theres lots of good brands for chisels, I would honestly not mess about with trying to get vintage ones; just buy a set of Marples for now, or look at some of the fancier offerings from Lee Valley.
Veritas is considered one of the best values in hand saws, but they are expensive for a beginner. Unfortunately I don't know about saws well enough to recommend a less expensive brand. Unless you know or want to learn how to sharpen a saw, I'd stay away from vintage ones.
Of course, you MUST sharpen these for them to work best. I personally use these everyday!
