That’s a loaded question, yet you did narrow it down somewhat. Importantly is what you want from a unit. Just depth and structure? Actually mark fish with confidence?
It’s a Pandora’s box for most of us. The more you know, the more unsure you get. The good news is, as already mentioned, if you just want a basic unit, you really can’t go wrong. Screen size and resolution are what really sets the prices on these, and resolution and size means more than you might first think.
If your looking for something simple, a used older one will do. Sonars have entered a new level in the past few years with side and down imaging. GPS has dimensions now in that you can chart-plot, have contours for lakes onboard, make and edit your own maps, and more.
I’m guessing this is all more than you care to know, yet it’s a kin to asking what car you should buy, Ford, GM or dodge? Go to a store and watch the demo screens, play with the buttons and spend some time on YouTube if you want something tailored to your needs, and no regrets after buying.
