If you want to cover all your bases, use a cheap labtop, remove harddrive, boot from encrypted usb stick installed with TAILS. Use a decent VPN (there are quite a few security minded VPN services), open up tor, and your risk level will be extremely low - Keep your pgp keys on a different encrypted usb stick. Don't view ANY DNM material without tails/tor/ on a throwaway computer- keep your "main" pc clean - Also don't keep a stockpile of drugs at your delivery spot - there are plenty of creative ways to hide your stash - you could even use a safety deposit box/storage shed/trusted friends house if your paranoia starts running too high.

Your question requires a serious answer. This sub may not provide, but the noobs sub might produce a better one. The noobs sub exist for all of us, not just noobs, when we require a serious answer.

Purchase from LBC/Coinbase/Circle/anywhere, send them to clearnet electrum wallet(google it), send from there to a tumbler then to a Tails electrum, then send to wherever you are paying; i.e. market.
Coin base, and circle are the easiest if you're just starting out and buying for personal use - I'd advice opening an electrum wallet, order from circle/coinbase then transfer to your electrum wallet, then deposit the btc into a market wallet, or use a market that has an instant buy option (you don't have to deposit into the sites escrow) Hansa has a great escrow system for noobs - and Oasis has a similar escrow system. I'd avoid any Finalize Early orders until you become much more familiar with the DNMs, and research the hell out of every vendor you plan on buying from - check reddit vendor reviews/market place forums/other dnm forums (the hub and/or DNMavengers have some good info on their forums)
If you're looking to make a purchase over $200 localbitcoins is your best bet, you will pay a slightly higher market price, but there are no purchase limits as with coinbase/circle - also circle/coinbase have been known to ban accounts they can connect to dnm activity, and you have to connect a bank account plus a credit card to enable instant buy. You can make large purchases through coinbase, but it's a pain in the ass, and it takes much longer to receive your coins compared to localbitcoins - you can make a bank transfer or f2f and get your coins instantly.
