For equipment, they'll be happy if you just say no, or give a simplified list of options: he can have a really nice sword, or really nice armor, or he can have tons and tons of adventuring crud (ladders, flaming oil, pintons, manacles, 11 foot poles...) don't let them focus on stats, let them focus on feel.

Those are excellent ideas! Pre-Gathered Information sort of skips the roleplaying, but since it needs to be character skill-based anyway, that's not a genuine problem.
And Equipment Lenses is something GURPS lends itself to, especially with the CF-based system, and/or the various cost simplifications in DF. Especially if it can be tied in easily with Encumbrance, which I think is doable.
