I find that any ride over 5 miles each way is uncomfortable without bike shorts. Luckily, my commute is only 3 miles each way. Currently, I wear a bike jersey and just regular shorts, but I'm thinking of going to just get wicking t-shirts (my shorts are stretching out the bottom of my jerseys).
As for the helmet, I bought the first inexpensive, yellow helmet with a visor that I could find (It happened to be a Giro Torrent that I payed $25 for on eBay). I wanted yellow so that I could be seen and a visor for the rain (some say it also keeps the sun out of your eyes, but I guess it depends on how big the visor is).
