I want to start using cast iron cookware. Should I buy Lodge Logic brand via Amazon(I have Prime--free shipping; Seems too cheap to be any good though) or look around on eBay for Griswold or Wagner? I am too lazy to drive to thrift stores looking for bargains.

Right now I grill everything, so I'm not 100% sure which pieces I need to start out. Mark Bittman recommends:

"I bought five, and I could live with four (though I’d rather have six): a small, medium and large cast-aluminum saucepan (total: about $30); a medium nonstick cast aluminum pan (10-inch; $13); and a large steep-sided, heavier duty steel pan (14-inch; $25)."

I mainly want to cook meat (esp. fish) and vegetables. Do I need all that stuff? I will prob. get a dutch oven too for roasts.
