Without getting into the pedal ones, IME Malibu, Tarpon and Trident are the most popular ones overall. Hobirs are great but expensive. Welcome!

welcome...Headwaters in Lodi is having some sweet deals on a bulk load of kayaks they bought.  Seems like a great deal for a beginner, then you'll have a loaner when your friends wanna go, because there's probably no doubt you'll own more than one kayak!

That. Plus they have demo availability. I've been searching this website for the 12 step program for buying 'yaks and gear, but I haven't found it yet.
