So after typing this immensly long list, I've found that I could use some feedback.  Should I keep the Urza's land?  I feel they would be helpful to those large equipments, but would I ever get them out?  I've play tested with it now a couple of times, and only got one of the lands out at a time...

Should I decrease the amount of Planeswalkers?  Maybe too many Elspeth's?  I have an EDH tourney on Thursdays at my store, and would like to try this out there.

Thanks in advance!

{Honor of the Pure} and {Glorious Anthem} type cards are very helpful. I suggest equipment tutors like {Stoneforge Mystic} and {Stonehewer Giant}. And for board wipes {Wrath of God} over {Day of Judgment} any day.

{Loxodon warhammer} > {golem's heart}. Occasional lifegain is nice but swinging a giant kemba will blast up your lifetotal. Also, {leonin shikari} and {lightning greaves} are must haves for an equipment deck.

{Loxodon Warhammer}
{Strata Scythe}
{Ring of Thune}?
{Quest for the Holy Relic}?
{Infiltration Lens}?
{Champion's Helm}
{Moonsliver Spear}

Kemba is my favorite single-color commander. :)

{Coat of Arms} so your cats can be all like, "meow," and then like *scratch* and then everyone else is like, "ow."
{Cathars' Crusade} has the same effect.
I also highly recommend {Rootborn Defenses} and {Faith's Reward}/{Second Sunrise}. You also need a {Strionic Resonator} to copy Kemba's upkeep token making ability, so you pay 2 mana and get 2x the tokens for that turn. More {Soul Warden} effects and an {Archangel of Thune} wouldn't hurt.

The problem with {Lightning Greaves} is that the shroud blocks other equipment from being equipped unless the greaves are moved to another character, thus making Kemba temporarily vulnerable. {Swiftfoot Boots}, {Champion's Helm}, and/or {Mask of Avacyn} will do better here because they can stay equipped while new equipment is attached.

I'm thinking of replaying {Konda's Banner}. What should I replace it with?

I say keep it. I'd definitely play it if I had one.
