If you don't mind me piggybacking off your post, u/UncleSkippy, I also have a A1 white gi, like new (wife wore it twice, threw out her back, and said "Welp I'm done with BJJ").
Same rule applies: if you only have 1 other gi, first come / first serve. It says A1, but it's much closer to an A2. Please look at the size chart in the link!!

Even cheaper, I've rolled with people who have these and they aren't bad
i almost pains me to say it, because i hate their marketing, but Shoyoroll are legit. if you buy a "comp standard" it will be about the same price as any quality gi. they actually have one that you can pre-order now.
since it is your first one i would recommend Sanabul. you can get one for $70 or less and they are not bad quality. i bought one for my wife, because i half way thought she would quit. now a handful of guys i train with own one because they saw hers and wanted a cheap gi. https://www.amazon.com/Sanabul-Essentials-Version-Preshrunk-Fabric/dp/B00P9W4GD6/
what is your budget range?
personally i have tried:
Habrok
Gr1ps
So far I have the most mat time with the Gr1ps gi that I own and have been super happy with the fit/weight/durability of it, and just got a new one for Black Friday. I just got the Habrok but so far I like it.
Quite a few people that I have trained with have had the Sanabul gi and they seem to hold up well. The people I know that have them like them.

consider asking the parents of the other 50% to make some donation. to buy 2 gis for their kid from like amazon, the Sanabul is real cheap, and donate one.
I’ve got this one:

I’ve been rolling with it twice a week for about 8 months. Still feels pretty new. I’m in Texas so the lightweight is nice during the long summer.
Probably not top quality, but seems like a great value given my experience with it.
Here is the mobile version of your link
From what I gather the Standard Issue and Hooks are basically the same with the exception the Hooks has outer labeling whereas the Stardard Issue has no identifiable markings, like how gis used to be, this also leaves room for more patches if that's your thing.
Another option you may consider that is inexpensive and good quality is Sanabul. https://www.amazon.com/Sanabul-Essentials-Version-Preshrunk-Fabric/dp/B00P9W4GD6/ref=sr_1_8?m=A14TJKA4FS5CS1&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1479691941&sr=1-8&th=1&psc=1
Prices basically increase for color of gi, which seems to be a standard industry practice for "flagship" mass produced gi of a company. I own one, but it's a gi they don't make anymore, but it's my favorite gi. A lot of guys at my gi have them as well, they've held up nicely.
Whatever you decide to buy, I think sizing is most important regardless. You don't want to be swimming in you gi, but you also don't want a gi that is too small. Generally, you can shrink a gi, you can't make them bigger.
I've been happy with Sanabul. Seems like a lot of value for what you pay: http://www.amazon.com/RELEASE-Sanabul-Essentials-Version-Preshrunk/dp/B00P9W4GD6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464976339&sr=8-2&keywords=sanabul
Sanabul is pretty cheap (for a gi, still kind of expensive in general) and is well regarded. I think it runs big though. Based on what I know, which is not much (I haven't been training long enough), we're at the point where even budget Gis like this should hold up for a while:

Edit: It looks like your jiu jitsu gear is a bit cheaper and comes with a free belt.
