What would be a good first fun fly? I just started flying RC this year so I don't have a lot of experience.
Right now i'm looking at the following:
Sirex Wasp
Sig Fazer
Dazzler
Can someone confirm or deny or offer some other suggestions?

Well...............The fazer is cheap and super easy to build. Its a pretty good flying plane too. The Dazzler is a little more complicated to put together but not that much. The Dazzler is also a very good flying plane. You cant go wrong with either one.....................John

While I don't consider it a true 'funfly' why not get a sig somethin' extra? With a forward CG and low rates, this thing flies real easily. When your ready, gradually make the rates higher, and move the CG back, and you can do a lot with it. Thus allowing you to transition into this type of flying easily.

I started out with the Fazer and then a Wasp... I love both planes.... Still fly 'em when all my other planes are crashed.. 
Both fly really well with a 46 size motor and standard servo's... Set 'em up for flapperons to get supper tight loops.
You can flat spin either one as long as you have enough throw and the CG is back far enough....

But the plane I like to fly most of the time now is my Morris Hobbies SuDoKhoi which I scratch built:

They have all made good points. Your also coming to the right place to ask for help. These guys have flown these planes and know all their good and bad points if any. I currently fly a Sig Fazer as my number one plane. I love the way I can throw it in the truck and run the field and be in the air within minutes as with any fun fly. If your wanting a good second plane, I would go with the Fazer. I would though, build the control surfaces a little larger for tearing it up. But, you can get almost any of the Morris kits and out of the box tear it up with much re-engineering 
Oh yeah, disregard the belly in the picture, I was pregnant and the camera adds 50 lbs.
