Go to a store and try some pedals out...pick the best in your budget...

I have DW9002's and a set of the new Ludwig Atlas...I went overboard...

Unfortunately I live in a pretty small town where the selection is small and the markup on everything is ridiculous. That's a pretty pricey pedal though, pal.

Are you sure you're even ready for those yet?

You sure you're ready for those? Think of it as taking your training wheels off your bike for the first time. Can you do it?

Obviously I'm not going to pick up double kick techniques immediately, but I have had practice on drums before, and I think I could pick it up within six months. The kit I have doesn't come with a bass drum pedal at all, so I figured it'd be easier to straight up buy a double kick to save effort later on.

I have an Iron Cobra double bass drum pedal. It's a great double pedal and it's all I've ever needed. You can get those for relatively cheap too. You shouldn't need to go for anything too expensive, especially if you're a novice drummer.

I also forgot to add that if you are new to drumming, I know it's a ton of fun to play around on the double pedal like crazy, but I would urge you to get seriously good playing single before you start working hard on double technique.

second this. i've had iron cobras for 6 years and they hold up pretty well. just a solid standard pedal that behaves like you expect it to. always wanted to try Axis longboards though.

Axis Longboards are awesome but they are overrated in that they aren't actually in some league above the rest like their reputation might have you believe. I feel like ICs pack a better punch. Longboards feel very smooth and I guess a lot of people like them because in my experience they're very easy to control, which can be good for beginner drummers to start off with. My one problem is that their quality doesn't stand out quite enough to justify the usually very high prices they go for. You're probably better off with Cobras or something else like it.

I don't know.
I think it would be better for a novice to start on double immediately.
Working only on one foot is like limiting yourself to the right arm.

I see where you're going with this and I agree only in part because the two aren't exactly equal. You pretty much always need two hands to drum, because most of the time you're playing two different things, ex. snare/ride cymbal. Novices with double pedals have a tendency to over rely on them before they learn proper technique with their dominant foot. It isn't like trying to learn alternating rudiments with one hand. In my opinion, learning to alternate with the feet should come second if you want to become seriously good.

do you plan on playing metal or prog?
>yes
get them
>no
don't waste your time.
