Which is the better starter paintball gun / marker?

Now for spyder's the Spyder Pilot ACS Package is a great gun, i myself started out with a spyder fenix. They aren't the easiest to find custom parts to to enhance the performance, but they are very durable AND they are GREAT out of the box, also i have had a few problems with my spyder fenix ACS and the people at kingman tech. are the best to help treat a problem. Now the Tippmann 98 is a good gun for start but they take a lot of customizing and a lot of money to make better. The Tippmann is very reliable and durable. Yet, Spyder's are great right out of the box with little to none extras needed. Tippmann 98 isn't as good without all the extras. I would go with the Spyder Pilot ACS.
