Default Newbie to seaplanes

I'm interested in getting a seaplane. I've spent the last few days reading through the posts in this topic. I have a little experience with a r/c airplane. I had a tower hobbies .40 trainer a few years ago but because of where I live couldn't find a good spot to fly. I'm surrounded by water and I really enjoyed flying so I'm trying to get back into it. I became really comfortable flying but smashed the wing on a powerline pole while banking on an approach to land and gave up. I'm thinking of going with a Seamaster ARF or a trainer on floats. I like the idea of the aerobatic abilities of the Seamaster but think this might make it more difficult on the first flight. What do you recommend for someone like me? I'm looking for the easiest to learn on right now.
Thanks.

Also, is there any chance of inverted flight and rolls with a trainer on floats?
