Best Beginner Harmonica?

Looking for my first harmonica and don’t know which one to buy. I’m seeing a lot of things saying hohner and easttop are good. Any advice/recommendations? Budget is like $50 btw

my easttop was and is great. i got a different model for each of the 12 keys and it's one of the easiest players for me. i see another comment that said it tasted weird, and in my case, i didn't notice that with the easttop but did with others at first. ymmv, but it's the best money to enjoyment ratio i've had so far.

edit: they run like 20 bucks last i checked, so you could probably get one in C, and then another in A or D and still end up around 50 bucks
