Default Beginners questions

13 or 14 years ago I played with the original Concept 30 for a couple of seasons. Got to the slow figure-8 level- never progressed to FFF. Sold it and went back to planes. Just started flying them again after a 4 year break.

Now I'm starting again with a Concept VR and could use some advice.

Which gyro for < $150? Are the Hitec piezo's any good?
Heading hold or regular gyro? - What's the difference.

What's a good pitch range for beginners? - Do I go to 0 deg or keep 1 or 2 positive degrees as the low endpoint? (I remember most of my crashes were boom strikes from chopping the throttle.)

I'll think of more.
TIA,
