I do not know exactly where you live or what you intent to do with a band
saw and planer.
In the US http://www.grizzly.com/index.aspx is a good choice for average
quality motorized tools. In Canada www.busybeetools.com they have about the
same tools as Grizzly.
By planer I take that you mean thickness planer. Here you should experiment
with different type and sizes. If you intent to plane a few board of pine
and the occasional oak plank every year a portable Delta, Makita,Dewalt or
equivalent copy costing between $300.00 - $600.00 will do the job.
The thing to watch for is blades replacement and adjustment. I prefer the
drop in type they do not need adjustment. The later are powered by 120
volts and can be moved around easily. With these planers it is wise to only
remove a small amount every pass like less than 1/64. If you have a rough
4/4 thick board to reduce it to 3/4 thick will take many pass. If you think
that you work load may be a few thousand board foot of hard wood every year
a more powerful planer running on 220 volts would be the tool of choice.
In either case you will need a chips collector.
As for the band saw for average work a 1 HP, 110 Volts, 14" X 14" table,
14" throat and a cutting height of 6" will do.
If you intent to some ripping and make you own board from logs or larger
pieces of timber and make large bowl blanks from green wood you will need a
larger 220 volts band saw.
The best thing is to identify the space, electrical power outlet (110 and
220 volts ) and what you want to do before buying a band saw or a surface
planer.
