As a younger veteran in this hobby I will give you this advice. There is no perfect pin. All pinball is fun. Some games will last a few month and some a few years. Keep it fresh and switch pins out when your not playing them a lot. If money is no object then start collecting the ones you love. Just know that even the ones you love will eventually become dust collectors. This is a super fun hobby to get started in. You can start with a few thousand, purchase a nice clean game and play it until it becomes dull/unchallenging. Then sell it (around what you paid or more with the appreciation these days) and get another. I would look at a few and buy the one you can get the best deal on.

Right now value is through the roof. This hobby keeps growing and pins seem to be getting more and more expensive as the years go on.
