I'd say an ion. I use one and i think you get less problems than a tippmann. Cheap aswell
ive never had a problem with a tippmann 98c and i would like to find someone who has. along as its well kept. sh!t even site ones being chucked around can work after being in streams n puddles n watnot. put an ion into water and u aint got a chance.
+ alot of sites wont allow ions on site either due to outshooting site markers or the need for an airsource.
tippmann is definatly a woodsball marker 1st timer
ion is probably a supair 1st timer BUT u can pick up a nice ego for cheap enuff on these forums
