Don't get too discouraged about the Pyle Pros - I started with them as well. They'll suit you fine to start as long as you have a solid plan for upgrading to higher-quality gear and you make a very real plan to allocate funds from your shows for that purpose, and stick to that plan. I drove my Pyle's into the ground, and held them together with duct tape and bubble-gum (figuratively speaking) for the last 6mos or so I had them. Don't drop them or bang them around too much and you'll get some solid gigging out of them.
As for music and your desire to pre-program material/sets for dinner/cocktails, etc, you made the right choice by going digital as those software and playback options alloy you to set up playlists and pull them up at any time at a gig.
Keep hanging out here and if you have a genuine desire to learn and hit the ground running, you'll learn a lot.
