Sprint & jump spikes, etc.

Are there any former sprinters or long jumpers around here?  My son needs new spikes, and I really don't know much about that world.

Events:  100m/200m/4x100m + long jump

Can the same spike be used in sprints and long jumps?  Up until this year, that's the way he's competed, but he's now a HS junior and will have a chance to score at some meets, so I'd rather he not be held back by his gear.

Are those carbon inserts a real thing?

Is any particular brand known to be better than others?  I would assume it's the same Nike/Adidas/New Balance universe, but if there's a particular brand to be looking for, I'm all ears.

He also needs a set of starting blocks -- are they all the same or is there something to be looking for?
