I would go for any cheap pH and kH test kits. At least the pH test range must be in 0.2 units and can measure the range 6 to 8.
For NH3/NH4 and NO2 test, I have never tried and I think not too much of a concern for a planted tank. Probably at the cycling stage, maybe?
NO3 and PO4 should be the ones to monitor in a planted tank. Personally I use Sera brand for these 2 tests.

Try to search the forum for similar topics which has been discussed several times in the past. And decide what to buy.
