I started with Remploy irons from the Green Shield stamp shop then Antex. Have been using Weller for over 40 years now I highly recommend them. Cheap irons are ok for tag strip work and at a push the Antex are ok on pcbs but the Weller is so much better. Just get the best you can afford, damage to pcbs is not worth the problems. A new Weller with a 24V 2A supply as stated above is a good place to start.
