If you have the space and budget for it, grand pianos are always a welcome choice. If not, upright piano will suffice as well.

As to how good a piano is, its a personal choice IMO. You will need to test out the sound and the key feel etc yourself at the shop to find something that suits you. I've been using a Yamaha upright for the past 20+ years but can also recommend Kawai or Steinway too as I've personally played on them before.
