Should I get them all or just some? 

If I get them all - will that water down the selection of weapons/armour? 

Or is it better to find the weapons/armour instead of buying them?

Lastly, when and where do I get my Spectre weapons/armour?  I am now at level 25. 

It won't harm to get them all - when you get them the Normandy Requisitions Officer (down in the lower deck) will have the the weapons of which you acquired the licenses for this also would including the Spectre weapons. You can also get the Spectre weapons from the C-Sec Requisitions Officer on the Citadel in the C-Sec academy. I bought the weapons early in the game as it made it easier. (but each to their own) have fun

Truthfully the best armor I had was always found in a drop. Seemed like especally in later levels the Stores always had a few high level guns but armors where still a bunch of low level stuff.

Even on the rare occasions when you can buy the higher level armors, they never seem to stock the stuff for Shepard.  I seriously spent the whole insanity play-through in the second or third best armor for my character because I never found, nor could I ever buy, anything better.  I could outfit all of the non-humans in my crew with the best stuff they could wear, but the humans were all out of luck.

To get your hands on the Spectre gear you need only have racked up 1,000,000 credits on this or any previous play through.  Yes, that means that on your next play through with a different character you will have access to the Spectre gear as soon as you are a Spectre, though you won't be able to afford it.

The super-mega-ultra Spectre gear (also known as the Spectre Master X gear in game) is not available to characters below level 50.

Just buy all the licenses you will have no problem affording as money gets ridiculously easy to make in this game.

It's pretty much a unanimous "buy them all" here, but if you don't feel like it, at least pick up the Geth Armory License because that Geth Assault Rifle pwns. I just like the noise.

Licenses are good to pick up as you progress, but as soon as you can afford Spectre weapons, everything becomes really inferior in comparison. Some weapons might have 10-20 more points of damage, but vastly lower heat tolerance, etc. It's frankly one of the unbalancing parts of the game, as it essentially turns all weapons into cash flow, and before you know it, you have far more cash than you know what to do with.

As far as armors go, there's a fair amount available both as drops and at stores, but if a clearly superior piece is available at a store, go ahead and buy it. Chances are that it's not going to drop for a while, if at all. Also, picking up the Geth Armory license is nice, as the armors you can get from it are on par with the game's best. There's no real consistent method to getting armors though past downloading and completing the Bring Down the Sky DLC, as you can automatically get a suit of the game's best armor at the conclusion of the mission.

Actually, the best licences you can get are the Serris Council (unlock at lvl 36) for awsome Bio-amps/Omni-tools and Kassa Fabrications (unlock at lvl 36) for Great Armor for all races. Geth armory licence (unlock at lvl 36) unlocks an assult rifle and wicked armor for wrex. The geth AR is good but it is weaker than the HMWA X (spectre AR) in every way and you can't put any upgrades of any kind on it. Everything (and I mean everything) else is just crap compaired to what you get from those 3 licences.
