As stated, see what people around you are flying. They can help with setup and make it easier for you.

I like the raptor series about the best. Most of the people that I have talked to that have the hawks like them too.

You will like whichever you get, but it will make life a lot more enjoyable if you get one that you can get help with. Going it alone sounds all noble and everything, but your chances of making it work right and sticking with it are very slim with no help.
