I say get 2 normal female NOW. The normal male will not matter so much, you will find the females are what is really hard to come by. If you really want a ballpython morph starter kit get 2 baby normal females, and 1 het albino or pied male. In a few years when they breed, you will atleast be producing poss hets insted of normals. With only 3 snakes your feed bills will be low. They will only need 10 gallon tanks with a little under tank heater until they are about a year old... then you migh want to upgrade them all to a self made 3 or 4 bin 41qt starilite tub rack... or even buy one... that small they are not too expensive. Females will be the key. 2-3 years from now, you can buy a pastel male and breed him to all your females. The more females the better. I add about 10-15 to my collection every year.
