even if your considering better masks than simple n95's its worth stocking up on the n95's anyway, they can make for great bartering items, and are very lightweight, i plan on buying about 20, caching alot of them, but keeping about 4 or 5 in a medical kit, they're small and light enough to not make much of an impact
but as for gas masks and other cbrn preps have a look at this thread

paul has a good mix of different things to cover various eventualities, theres also a bunch of good info in there, and some links to various items

a nice full face respirator, changeable filters, large enough for those with glasses and beards to wear comfortably.
personally i'm leaning toward half facepiece respirators so i can use whichever goggles i wish to, and also so if i need eye protection but not breathing protection i can do so without wearing a full face mask
also i'd recommend reading the table of codes and what they mean on this wiki page
