For the item slots you mention:

Neck; White gold



TL;DR: Get levels, spend minimal money on bard gear.
Forgot about that necklace. Great for raiding. I do agree with Deajay, you'll notice the greatest return from pure levels.

I used cha rings all the way until I was in my high 50s to try to avoid getting lull resists. However, once I hit about 57 or 58, I didn't really get lull resists in Sebilis anymore, so I swapped to hp rings except when raiding. In raiding, I always wear pure resist gear based on the encounter. However, I'm still uncertain how effective resists really are for Dragon AoEs aside from Fear. With over 400 PR on Trakanon with a damn epic and shield of the green dragon equipped, I still do not resist his AoEs. Hopefully the next patch that decreases max resists to 255 will actually fix all of this. Then bards can actually just rely on songs for the most part to max resists instead of wearing subpar stat gear just to increase resists.
