With having started a small business making tote bags, stickers and magnets, I had some trial and error with products used but have since found the holy grails I will continue to use
First, is the machine itself! I have the original maker but depending on the items you are planning to make, each one has its own benefits to suite your needs

You don't need the best of the best for a printer if you are doing print and cut projects, the ECO tank printer is perfect for this
Epson EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless Color All-in-One Printer
The standard grip mat is great for so many projects, I always have one of these
StandardGrip Machine Mat, 12" x 12" (2 ct)
I personally use these mats for my stickers and some other lighter projects

Blades are important depending on what you are cutting, I use the standard for most projects but also use the deep blade for a few

I have tried many a brand of vinyl's yet always come back to the Cricut brand, it weeds the best and lasts the longest
Premium Vinyl™ - Permanent
Iron on from the cricut brand is again a personal fave, I have never had any issues with any of the colours used
Iron-on (HTV)
Love the sparkle iron on for an added touch to my tote bags
Cricut Glitter Iron-On Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
Infusible ink is some of my favourite to use for a more permanent touch, especially for anything that will end up needing to be washed
