No doubt, a lot of people will chime in with comments...some in agreement and some conflicting...in the end, the best scope for you is the one that you will use and use often...
Good Luck in your search...and welcome to a wonderful hobby!

I couldn't agree more. It will really help to get an idea of what to expect and what you are likely to do if you can get to look through a few different types.
