Starting Paintball / Speedball Recommendations on Markers and Hoppers

Hi everyone, wanting to get back into Paintball / Speedball after not playing for 10 years. Feels like somethings changed for sure. What is your recommendation on Paintball Markers and Hopper setup for someone trying to get into Entry Level Speedball / Tournaments? Main 2 markers I been seeing pop up a lot is Empire Axe. Any other recommendations and what hopper as well. Thank you!
