I'm glad to see it stated in your question that you are "about to get a gecko," and have not yet.  You should thoroughly research your gecko's needs before ever purchasing one.

Substrate depends on age, and species.  Some geckos can't be kept on substrate at all.

Heat is vital in gecko care/development/digestion.  It varies by species.  These adorable creatures come from many regions of the world, and have different environmental needs.

Their food is also very important (especially if crickets are part of the diet - google 'gut loading crickets'), and should be researched thoroughly.  You will need to provide for their prey food until it's time to feed the lizard, as well.

My best recommendation is to google your pet on line; consult care books at the pet shop and library, and then consult a reptile vet.  

"Forewarned is forearmed," as the adage goes.

Once you have everything you need for the gecko's environment; have educated yourself on its dietary needs; and have located a good reptile vet - then you're ready to select a pet.

'Hope this has been helpful.  Enjoy!
