Most people prefer shorter barrels, but some like the longer tubes, just make sure if you get something with a shorter barrel that it will hold ten rounds of your chosen ammo. Vaqueros rule the game, but a lot of folks shoot Uberti's and a few who can afford it shoot Colts. The .38 Special cartridge is the most popular, followed very closely by the .45 Colt. "Classic Cowboy" requires .40 cal or above, so you might keep that in mind. Clothing is not a big deal, other than Classic Cowboy and B Western, which are based greatly on costuming. Blue jeans and a western style long sleeve shirt will get you by in the other categories. Shoot light smokeless loads with light bullets to be a gamer or shoot heavy bullets and black powder to be authentic - you can shoot this game any way you like. Yesterday, I shot a 10g coach gun with black powder and brass shells, heavy .45 Colt black powder loads in 7 1/2" New Vaqueros, and 147 grain black powder .38 Spl loads in a Marlin. I finished 18th out of 23 due to some shotgun problems, but still 1st in category because I was the only Frontier Cartridge Duelist. A hollow win, but I've never been to a match and not had a very good time.
