I'd advise against the greyhound because of the exercise they need. They also tend to get a bit...smelly. A retired racer I knew slept and parped and that was about it. (There are also potential behavioural problems with ex-racers, something called learned helplessness where they are so used to a fixed routine they don't know how to be a dog anymore.)
A good thing to have a look at regardless of the dog is the Hierachy of Needs for Dogs. It's a pyramid with grooming, eating, socialising etc on, in the order of importance to a dog. Safety is on the bottom - if the dog doesn't feel safe, it won't do any of the above like groom or eat or whatever. It's a good way to work out why it's doing x y or z and then you can fix the problem.
Costs..it depends.
Diet wise? If you could do it, raw food. It's messy and takes some working out (20% of the dog weight divided by 7 = daily amount). I met a couple of big dogs (husky and alsatian) on a raw food diet and they were in stunning condition, brilliant teeth and coats, never had to go to the vets, just because they weren't getting the added junk in their food.
Greyhounds and their various offshoot breeds often have osteoporosis, which is something to think about.
If there are no pre-existing conditions, get insurance sorted out.
Vaccinations will have to be up to date and kept on top of if Dog needs to go into boarding kennels at all.
Groomings not hard to do at all. Couple of good brushes, one to get the dead undercoat out when the seasons change. If they dislike anything you can train them out of that. Positive reinforcement
Toys...balls. Fluffy things. Chewy things. You may as well get cheap ones, to be honest. They'll all go the same way. I saw a toy labelled "indestructible" and it was in bits and half the size within two days.
Treats are a use sparingly thing.
Doggy coats? Well. They don't really need them. Depends how much you object to a soggy doggy after a walk.
Cor. Knew that animal behaviour course would be handy!
