I used a Shimano kit on my wife's bike and a Jagwire kit on mine - both came with boots.

Edit: Saw the 9 speed. Nevermind about buying take off 105 stuff. Those Sora ones will work.
Go ahead and buy new brake and derailleur cables, as well as housings. A full kit will set you back $35: http://www.amazon.com/Jagwire-Complete-Brake-Derailleur-Black/dp/B001C4NJME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425568415&sr=8-1&keywords=jagwire+road+kit
Buy some new bar tape: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=road%20bar%20tape&sprefix=road+bar+t%2Caps
Then read up on youtube on how to do this. It's fairly straightforward. Your hardest part is going to be cutting the housing. The brake housing requires a diagonal cut, while the shifter housing is a straight cut. If you don't have a cable cutter, use a dremel, or find a friend with a cable/housing cutter.
Just remembered something else that you didn't have questions about, but that you'll want to know about: cables and housing. If you don't already have a set in mind, I'd recommend looking at a Jagwire Racer set--very good for the price.
