You really need to think about how much capability you will need moving forward. I have been flying a Hitec A9 for 10 years and love it, but I need more channels and capabilities. I just bought a Grapner MZ 32. It has as much or more than anything offered by the other brands. So far I absolutely love it. But just to throw another option out there, check out the Graupner line. They offer flight control RXers, and a large line otherwise that.are reasonably priced.
