24MHz 8-ch is a bit insufficient for debugging most of real stuff which is when the real fun is.
Also IMO logical analyser and scope are two things where you want to spend money when you are starting with electronics. This is how you are going to learn stuff and how you are going to debug anything you do. You need good scope and analyser EXACTLY because you are a newb.
I am personally using DSLogic U3Pro16 which was $300 when I bought it and I can highly recommend it.

And by that point you'll not be a newbie anymore and know you've outgrown your chinesium. But for most tasks, it is plenty enough. It's amazing how much you can do with so little.

I highly disagree. You need decent enough ones, not good ones. Want to decode that uart? Wanna know why that adafruit I²C sensor is not responding? Why this SPI thing sends garbled data? The logic analyzer will be the biggest help when working with digital electronics, which is what most people get started with.

I have my doubts about this. I believe that many beginners will experience the "I'm scared to use this" effect if they buy something too "nice" (read: expensive). Hell, to this day, I still use my Rigol DS-1102e first for most things, in favor of breaking out the "nice" oscilloscope, because I have that faint murmuring of "if you're going to fry a scope, fry the cheap one" in the back of my head.
