Like AnotherCat said, if you are starting now my sugestion is to try it a few times before buying any specific utensils, just in case you don’t like the result or find it is to much work, that way you don’t spend money and end with something you don’t use.
I had a bread machine and didn’t like the bread made in it, it was very different from the one baked in the oven so I sold it. I make the dough in the standing mixer and bake it in the oven.
I can’t recommend any of those but I make bread at home without using them, and I put the dough to rise in a round clear container with a lid, it helps to keep the dough protected from drafts and allows me to see how much it has risen without having to open the lid to peek. When it is time to shape the bread I tip the dough to the table and shape the bread and put it in the baking pan where I will bake it, I usually cook the bread in a loaf tin just because it is easier to cut the slices, I then put the tin in the oven to rise until it is time to bake it, my oven has a function for proofing dough and I usually use it.
For me the hardest bread to make is the mixed one, not sure how you call it, it is a mixture of several flours (rye, wheat, whole wheat, and several seeds) it sometimes comes out ok and others it is to compact, I keep trying and experimenting, someday I will get it right.
