Default Keg advice?

Hi so i have completed my first brew.And now i'm eager to get on with the second brew.I used bottles for my first brew but this time i want to use a keg.

I have no clue what to look for in a keg.So what would you guys say the best keg is?and why?

Easy to clean?Beer doesn't go off?

In the States we mainly use cornies AKA 5 gallon Cornelius kegs. These are very common, as they were the main method used for distributing soda for decades. As more establishments switch to machines that mix soda concentrates with carbonated water, the cornies have become cheap. That said, stainless steel kegs with large lids and inexpensive connectors are the way to go.

I believe some of the UK guys that post here pretty often use those. Hopefully they chime in!
