Howdy Fistyman,
I think if that you are just venturing into AG the easiest and safest way to go would be firstly to do single batches. This will more than halve the time to develop your skills and knowledge as well as finding a few styles you really like.
Secondly, I would definitely start out BIAB (brewing in a bag). Get your 90 litre pot and go from there. None of the equipment required in BIAB becomes redundant should you choose to change to another method. The knowledge level required is relatively low and the time taken is also a little quicker.
Starting this way will enable you to make well-informed decisions should you choose to expand your brewery - something you may well choose to not even do. After a brew day on Saturday, one of the guys up here has just decided to stop batch-sparging with an esky and start brewing in a bag. I have also done this.
FingerlickinB is in Canberra and brews in a bag. Buy some good beer and invite yourself around to his place for a look
All the best,
PP
