In about 2 weeks, EQ issues a new compilation pack to retail stores with every expansion including TBS. It will cost about $19.99. If you can swing that upgrade for each account between the two of you, I highly recomend the TSS zones designed for those levels -
Goru`kar Mesa and
Blackfeather Roost. The zones have tons of quests which add nice flavor and pacing to the game besides jsut grinding mobs.
The quested gear is a great upgrade for those level ranges. My necro is 56 and beneifits from having a large bank account to leach off of my main a 75 rogue, but even so, a few of those gear drops are better than anything I could buy in bazaar, and the quests are not that hard.
Examples of such from my necro:

The stats on other class gear are similiar, and the mana regen, HP regen and focus effects are the same. For the toons listed, all except warrior would benefit from the quested armor for the same slots. There is also an improved healing FE on another slot that would benifit the cleric. For the warrior the Masters Armor plus Symbol Aug for that armor, would have better AC/hp, and would be available in BAZ. If you do not want to buy the expansions, the
Masters Armor plus
Symbol Augs is the way to go for gear for each toon. You would want to hunt in the zones where the ingredients drop and find someone to make it for you. The cost can get expensive for those levels in bazaar if you want to buy a whole set. I would check in the bazaar though first, as sometimes people make the armor for skillups and sell it for almost nothing. (not the symbols though)
