Buy the Applecare when you buy the computer. There are things it will cover that the normal warranty does not. As for what else you need it depends on what you are going to use the Mac for. I use both my desktop and macbook pro for work 90 percent of the time so I mainly just have the apps I use for work. I hear iLife is good but I have no experience with it since I use Office for Mac and the Adobe Creative Suite (Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc).

As others have posted, the Apple website is a good place to start and most of the Macintosh specific forums will give you some good information.
