It really depends on the type of sparring you're interested in, imo. If you're only going to do light/medium sparring with 16 ounce gloves(in other words, you're not trying to throw haymakers the entire time), then a chin protector isn't really necessary, but once again, that's just my opinion. Title has a 'traditional' headgear that is $50 is made of all leather and is lined on the inside with suede. I don't personally own the headgear, but we have a few Title headgear at our gym and they're solid. Another option is the Everlast amateur competition headgear, also for $50, and I've used these before. I personally don't like headgear that have cheekpads because my peripheral vision is hindered to much for my liking, and these have the option of an open face. Of course, the cheekpads will give you better protection, so it's all about preference. These are quality boxing headgear, if a bit bulky (as most headgear is I guess). Hope that helps.
