I believe this another preference issue Wump and welcome to the forum if I haven't said so yet.
This is always a subject that has been talked about quite a bit and seems to keep coming up no matter what is suggested.
It all depends alot what you can afford, how serious you are in learning and how far you want to take it and also what type of ABing you want to do.
The person holding and controling the AB determines how well the AB performs.
I've used multiple types of AB's including grex and paache's and honestly I get the same desired result. I like iwata because I'm more comfortable with them, but I don't necessarily think they are better than all other AB's.
The more I practiced the better I got at controling the AB and the paint.
If you are not sure how far you are going to take it then I would probably go for what you can afford and work your way up as you start to grow and learn more about which direction you want to go with ABing.
Hope this helps Wump and stay tuned for more suggestions from the forum.
