If you are starting out in pattern, ARFs are ok, and will get you in the air faster for more practice. However, what is available changes rapidly. The Arresti 3 is not available, nor is the Icepoint. The Evolution replaced the Icepoint, but it isn't up on the website yet.
Wait a few months and the Focus series should be available again from a revitalised Piedmont..
You didn't mention the OTOP or Impact. An Impact won Masters this year at the Nats, and another finished 3rd in FAI. Make sure you do all of the aft fuselage mods in the instructions, and you will be ok.
