All depends on how detailed you want to go. Myself and several others use 1/18 scale figures, I do it cause I can't paint people worth a poop. What all are you looking for?

Go for whatever takes your fancy. Don't over think it buy it and then modify it to be how you want it... Price is not everything and no guarantee of quality.
