I'm a huge fan of the Kraken. Mine has held up ridiculously well to the abuse I've put it through and keeps on going.

Bought mine for $160 new, gave it a nice black spray job with Krylon ultra flat black. Tossed on a wood kit (just because I happened to have one) and tossed in a new battery to replace the one it came with.

Thing shoots hard and straight, only issues I have with it isn't really with the gun, its a mag issue. One thing you need to be careful of though is the body. Its not the strongest thing ever made, so just avoid throwing it around or smashing it into things. For a starter gun I don't think there are many options out there that are better. Best bang for your buck in my opinion.
