Honestly, any tuner is going to be fine. Dropping massive coin on an instrument (or accessories) you're just picking up is meh. As a beginner, you're unlikely to get much out of the highest end of this and that. Get a reasonably priced tuner, play with tuning it by ear (and remember, you can tune the guitar to itself or your voice or both with no problems whatsoever - may even help produce a pleasant sound that will encourage you to keep going - standard tuning only becomes really important if you want to play with other people and their instruments......). Start with rhythm and scales, standard chords...I know everybody wants to go straight to the badass licks, but meh. Folk songs and whatnot are usually pretty straightforward, you can find tab or sheet all over the web.
I'm a complete noob myself, but I have a stable of about two dozen songs I like to play and sing (faithfully - I'll play my own version of anything on a whim..lol), using 6 or 7 standard chords and 3 strumming patterns. Keeping it simple keeps me engaged with the results.
(I do a little finger picking too - moonlight sonata and shit light that).
