First question that needs to be answered - what are you looking to buy from said online store? If you want an entire costume, ebay's going to be your best bet. If you want a wig to cosplay with, I'd highly suggest cosplay.com's wig shop. If you need a weapon or a prop, you're best off searching anime merchandise stores like akadot.com or ebay, or even making it yourself. It all depends.
Sorry I can't help you with the hairgel - The only time I've needed to use it was for generic, not so heavyduty stuff, so I can't say which holds best.

Which holds better-- hair gel or hair spray!? Why don't you have me answer which came first, the chicken or the egg while I'm at it!? Just kidding.
Actually, I'd say that they both would hold equally well. Which I would suggest you use depends on the look you want. If you were looking for more of a slicked back looked (a la Hughes from FMA), go with gel. However, if you're looking for more of a light, textured looking hold in your hair (Say, Hatsuharu Sohma), go with a hair spray. Additionally, I would strongly suggest that, if you should go with hair spray, buy spray that's in an aerosol can, not a spray pump.

I would suggest trying Got2Be. And you don't even have to get it on the internet because their products are at most drug stores. They have various procducts including spiking gel and super strong hairspray. Trust me, this stuff really works.
