I'm a firm believer of if you're going to do a serious greenside kit, no solid colours at all. What I mean by that is, if you're going to wear all woodland camo, get woodland gear to match.
What weapon platform are you using? Certain things look good together, such as M4's and plate carriers, and AKs and static chest rigs.
If you're not going for anything in particular, you'd be doing a kind of 'freelancer' kit. I use that term to avoid 'contractor'. A pretty cool look is to have one camo item and one solid colour. For cooler days, I'd use solid colour pants and a camo jacket (like the desert DPM smock in the second picture). For warm days I'd use either camo pants and a solid colour t-shirt, or a camo combat shirt and solid colour pants. For this option, its better to have solid colour gear.
The most attainable (cool looking) kit from the ones you posted would be the second one. That chest rig shouldn't be expensive, the DPM smock is about $50 and the Maxpedition (I think) backpack would be about $150-200. You can sub in a cheaper hydration carrier backpack (a la Condor) for less than half that price. Then add in some fancy tactical pants, gloves and your headwear of choice and you're done.
If you look closely, the rig is just super faded or spray painted woodland DPM.

I look the second look the most as well. I was thinking of making it more woodland friendly. All you have to do is swap the desert dpm smock for a woodland one (heck even the old m81 woodland would work as they are very similar). As for pant color im not entirely sure. As for a weapon, the one I do not want is an m4. I'm just not a fan of it. Leaning more towards some sort of ak or g36. Id even go with an mp5!
