Make sure get pads that fit and don't bother you. Biltrite usually is known for making the best roller hockey pads.

Street - Please don't play street hockey without a helmet you will regret it if you don't where one. You need to where a helmet and shin pads. The rest could be used but is not needed for beginners not playing agressivly. If you are playing agressively than you might need gloves and elbow pads.

Roller - Usually the required pads are Full cage helmet (CCM or Mission's new helmet will do fine), Shin Pads, Elbow pads, and gloves. The rest is optiona unless your in a league where checking is legall. In this case you will need shoulder pads. Its not too importrant to where a mouth gaurd since you have a cage protecting your mouth.
