All depends what your taste is, rec ball or real serious rec ball, I would stay out of the tourny ball cause that's when the fun is replaced with points, points. Tippman is a good unit, I have a SL68 pump gun that I bought 10 years ago and it still to this day will work without problem and was cheap, now I feel that there is only one company out there and it's Bud Orr! you will know the nam,es AutoCocker and Sniper pump guns, I got out of the tourny stuff and well got out of paintball all together! I have been looking at getting another gun and it will be the Sniper pump, all the Bud Orr stuff is kinda like Ruger 10/22 and Harley's you name the parts you want and you can find them pretty much everywhere. Go with a good product from the get go! it will be to your advantage in the long run Bud Orr stuff is a little pricey but either the Bud Orr or Tippman will give you plenty service, oh I about forgot the good ol trusty AutoMag and with Nitrogen systems at such a low cost get one and forget about CO2 crap. good luck and let me warn you it's a load of fun! Good luck to ya.
