Excellent recommendations. I add kongsheng amazing 20 on the list. Avoid harmonicas too cheap that usually leak air. Try the https://harmonicahero.app to learn like a game and get visual feedback os your bends, effects, etc.

I started on a Special 20, and stuck with them. I have others, but my Special 20s are my fave by far.

I haven't played a SP20 , but from the others, I always found the Lee Oskar the easiest to play ( and they are very hard wearing)
