There have been some great suggestions. You really can't cover all grounds with one kit. Get two maybe. One more classic sounding, one more modern sounding. I've got a 60's Ludwig that does the classic thing wonderfully. For a more modern sound I would check out Yamaha (the high end lines). Whatever you do, stay away from custom drums. Some are great, but you want stuff that players will potentially be familiar with and preferably have played before, so bigger manufacturers might be a better bet. I would start with the more modern sounding kit as it will probably cover more bases, unless you do a lot of retro sounding records. You know your clientele the best. Make sure to have a few snares. Ludwig SupraPhonic is a great snare, IMO. A nice maple one and maybe a brass one would also have you covered in mots cases. Good luck!
