Looking for a device/kit that has great range and decent battery life. People usually suggest the LilyGo T-Beam (Supreme) and T-Echo, the WisBlock Meshtastic starter kit the Heltek V3.

Which one would be best for a beginner?

I really like the T1000E. It's all in one so no DIY if you aren't about that. It's small (think of a thick credit card) and has pretty good battery life too. It's really easy to just slip into a pocket or bag and go. Of course the performance isn't quite as good as nodes with big antennas but it does very well for the size
