I'd be a high handicapper. I can break 100 now, not sure if I could break 90.
You would be well served to look towards TaylorMade or Callaways, Callaways particularly.
I have owned about 10 different sets from different manufacturers the most part the past decade and Callaways are by far the easiest to hit it your trying to improve your game. They aren't great for a scratch golfer looking for incredible feel, but where you're at with your game you would notice a huge difference in terms of forgiveness and length with them. I swear they fly at least a club further than almost any other brand I have used.
In terms of woods, your best bang for your buck would be looking for some Taylormade R7 woods. They are pretty recent in terms of the underlying technology, but can be had very affordably for the most part if you keep your eyes peeled.
I'm just speaking form personal experience, but the worst thing higher handicap players can do is get a set of irons that are designed for a more skilled player and demand consistent good ball striking to really be playable. Once you get to the point you have a swing that is consistently repeatable, then you worry about irons that put a premium on feel. Until then you will have far more fun getting to that point getting a set of irons that first and foremost are very forgiving.
