Each individual has their own idea as to what telescope TYPE is best for newcomers to astronomy. Would you recommend a refractor, a reflector, or a compound telescope like a MAK or an SCT?

I recommend a refractor for newbies. 5 (27.78%)
  
I recommend a reflector for newbies. 8 (44.44%)
  
Maksutov's or Schmidt-Cassegrains rule, and I recommend one of these. 5 (27.78%)
