If you can find one, I don’t think you can go wrong with either a Porter Cable model 690 plunge or DeWalt 616/618.
Look for used ones. People don’t part with them easily so I would also check pawn shops.

They will handle 1/2 shank bits which you will eventually want and they have the power for heavier molding cuts.
