I don't know, theoretically they should all mean the same thing economically, but I don't think this game has a perfect economy.
So, what's the best way to get equipment? I haven't done the math to compare buying mats > crafting vs just straight up buying, but I'd like to hear other parts of the debate as well (beyond just numbers)
What's the best way and why?

Farm mats and sell, farm mats and sell, farm mats and sell.
Wait 2-3 weeks and buy mats and craft.

others farm mats and sell as well. once the market gets saturated, those mats drop in price. after 2-3 weeks, the things you want to buy is most likely 25% of the initial value or less.

Cost will go down hopefully by a dramatic amount by then.

Because right now you can sell things for extreme prices. In 2 weeks you can buy them for super cheap if you somehow haven't found them again. On the 1st day of updates, if you have patience, you should sell basically every single thing you find. If you need money, that is.

I'm not just talking about the new equipment, but equipment in general

Take the spider shells for instance.
On Wednesday they were 240k ea and now they're 80-100k.
What you want to do was stated above, farm the mats now and sell them. Then later, buy them for half the price or even less.
If the armor has been out for a while chances are you can just buy them from the market place.
