Firstly you can suspend any toms.
Secondly, I certainly prefer the sound of isolated (suspended) toms, but you should remember none of those classic recordings were made like that.
Finally, the best value and truly authentic classic rock drum sound would be found with a Ludwig Keystone kit, usually found quite cheaply on Ebay.
Something 1960's would be best.
Sizes: 22" (most versatile), 12" and/or 13" mounted tom, 16" floor tom.

Use modern hardware though.
