Learn to wirelock first.....its a skill of hand that may prove to be more useful than which lock pliers you use.... and much cheaper.
There are lots of places you will not be able to use pliers.. then hands are the best or spinners.
Personally my favourites are Blue Point 10" which can be used for many tasks and have a nice weight to them ( I've had mine for 25 years and I miss them now we have to use company toolboxes, <will you need to buy any ? >)
