my two cents', based on 30+ years with a cheap (i think it was around $15 at the time) single-action badger --no complaints, and performance to match the best double-action models (even in the airbrush-rendering class in college...) ...
-- double-action is an unnecessary complication/expense for a beginner. you may find yourself wanting one down the road, but to start stick with simple.
-- INTERNAL MIX. i repeat: INTERNAL MIX. important bit, that, imho.
-- ease of cleaning = enamel or lacquer paints that allow you to chuck the thing into solvent (even if it's been a year uncleaned) and have it come out squeeky, brand-new clean. (qualifier: i've not used --or am at all familiar with-- the latest acrylics, so could easily be matched in this.)
-- tanks are quiet (and cheap to fill at a local gas station...) --have a good regulator, and a water trap (if it's humid).
