for a brand new to musical instruments and woodwinds I would recommend an alto.
Dependent upon your price range is dependent upon the horn. I`ve heard various good and bad about Winston`s though I`ve never personally have tried one.
This one place (which I have no affiliation with) has some good entry level and up horns. Good entry level price for a decent horn. They are also sincere in their recommendations on the phone and may tell you to get a Winston, but look here:

They also have a good trial period.
They don`t have the widest selection like www.wwbw.com but for entry level you can`t beat the quality & price of the horns.
