Yes!!! I've always liked rarity and rarity hierarchy systems/ideas.
Though, as some critique I think it might look better if common items weren't designated 'common' prefixed to their short desc.
I think you're right about new players not being able to judge a piece of equipment and consequently missing out. I can recall that happening. It definitely does happen.
I would agree on the common part simply because it would save me and the rest of my building team a lot of time by not having to describe simple, common rabble. Unfortunately, a distinct difference among items is something I find healthy and helpful. There are items, however, like furniture, wells, fires, etc, that will never possess these flags (for obvious reasons.)
