I'm trying to see what items are best purchased with bitcoin given it's properties, ie, being irreversible. Mining gear seems like a big one, as Ebay supposedly sides with buyers who wish to return after 2 weeks. What other items could this apply to?

Digital goods mainly, but almost anything can be sold for BTC given the right infrastructure.

Sometimes it's not best to purchase using your bitcoins. If you can purchase your goods with fiat that would be ideal, I hate when I buy something one day and the next I over paid because the rate went up. Obviously this could work in your favor to but we know bitcoin doesn't drop often.

For MERCHANTS everything
a. zero fees b. no charge backs
For buyers
a. discounts are used often with btc by merchants b. use of a digital currency that is anonymous not trace if done right c. no currency exchanging if you are often in different countries
Negatives for buyers if you deal with a bad merchant you lose.
Negatives for everyone is hacking of wallets and accounts so proper understanding of the net is essential if you keep a lot of money in wallets.
Should you have all your money in wallets? Not right now, the market could disappear over night, not likely to, but who knows.

Definitely industries with high chargeback rates. Adult entertainment/porn, for instance, faces this issue, so I would think that these types of places would take to bitcoin.

I think this would apply more to merchants then to buyers. However it is a great idea to sell these things with bitcoin as it would likely allow merchants to charge less, and buyers to pay less.

Mining machine.
For normal item, it is cheaper if you pay in cash or credit card.

That's true. Although, these are also the types of things you wouldn't want showing up on your credit card bill. With bitcoin, you can retain your anonymity and keep your CC info safe.
