I am thinking about giving the C-ring a shot. But, I would like to start without all of the fancy vibrators add-ons. Any good recommendations on a "starter" kit?

It really depends on what features are important for you. Are there allergies to consider? Do you need something that's more likely to stay in place, or that can be easily adjusted during the act? Is getting the ring off in a hurry important? The answers to these questions can lead you in the right direction as you search.

For us, we wanted something that could easily be removed if need be. The trade-off here is that it can come off more easily than say, a medium-soft silicone band.

Like any sex toy, you'll also want to consider the type(s) of lube you like, and whether or not the toy's materials are compatible. For more info about lubes, this can help: https://www.womens-health.com/lube

Thanks Wednesday. I think I'd want something that stays in place. Also, Aloe Cadabra is our go-to lube.

Cool, their water-based lubes go with pretty much anything.

I'd recommend checking out the selection at Adam and Eve, or LoveHoney. Both of these sites pass the WHI standards for quality and materials. They'll have a big selection and a wide array of price-points. You can get a starter cockring in safe rubber or silicone for under $10. That will allow you to try something out without breaking the bank. If it doesn't work out, you'll have a much clearer idea of what you'll want to try next.

Even doing this as a job, I often feel flummoxed when looking for something new. There are just soooo many options.
