Questions on phrases/sentences with articles

Hi.

1. Could we have the indefinite article "a" infront of the word "resurrection"?

eg,

... needs a spiritual resurrection

2. Could we use the word "equipment" without the phrase "a piece of" in this instance?

Sonar is equipment ...

3. I think there is virtually no difference. What do you think?

1. He is no less man than the buffed-up Joe over there.

2. He is no less of a man than the buffed-up Joe over there.

I also think the following pair shows (show?) virtually no difference.

1. He spent all the money he had.

2. He spent all of the money he had.
