The first time I shot trap - at a charity event. Shot two 50 round sets. Everyone on my team had OUs. Me, my old beat-up Beretta Al390 (a semi). I shot 81 out of 100. I think that is pretty good for a trap virgin. I had my Highflyer modified tube that I bought for ducks and geese and it is all I use - sporting clays, trap, 5-stand and in the dove field. I don't mess around changing chokes. I am thinking about a pump so I don't pelt the guy to my right when shooting. I am going to try the rubberband trick first though. I am a hunter first and clay buster second.
I'd get something that is affordable and fits you well enough. If you really get competitive then you can step-up if you want. Too much of shotgunning seems to be fashion and bragging rights.
The key is have fun. I'd buy a used pump and if you decide to change, it is easy enough to sell and being used you won't take a bath on it.
