If you get into it you will want more than just one tool, but to start out I think a multi-tasker would be your best bet. It has more to do with the burrs than the tool I recommend the flame shape in several sizes and the long tapered burr. For aggressive stock removal try extra coarse ball nose cylinder shape works like a gouge.
