There should be tons of topics on this, but I think our search function is having issues, so I'll throw some stuff out.
Spending more typically gets you better gear. Better materials, sealed bearings in the pedals, lighter, stiffer soles on the shoes, etc.
Don't buy road shoes and pedals for mountain biking. Mountain shoes have a rubber sole with lugs, and fit a mountain bike cleat.
