Bottom line is, you don't need to rush into a purchase if you don't know what you want. The included ones will get you by.
It depends on the plane. The 717 doesn't have the DCs, we've got the lightweight telex headsets. Very comfortable, but as soon as I hit 18k I take it off and just use the speaker and hand mic. Even more comfortable.
