This may sound silly, but the one pirate where I skipped all the middle tier weapons, I regretted it frequently. Every time I got ammo or tonics, I'd see a glaring red HIGHER LEVEL WEAPON ALREADY OWNED. It bugged me much more than I ever imagined it would. (And of course, you can't buy a lower level weapon. Even if you don't want the extra damage points, while trying to level up.) Also, the "Main Gauche" looks way nicer than the Coltello "dagger." (Super cool blue gem on handle.) But you can't buy it back, once you've done the dumb Coltello dagger quest.

The only time gold pieces were a factor, was when I was ready to buy a war galleon. Once I owned that, the only "problem" I had with gold from that point on, was having too much. ("Cannot sell this item. You can't carry that much gold.")

My personal recommendation is to buy them all, as they become unlocked to your pirate.
