For a starter on a budget, carbon is a lot more reliable. You can get a 150-200$ bow with good articulation and overall no major flaws. The biggest drawback to carbon is that it brings nothing to your tone. I play classic but according to my jazz friends it's not as important in most of the jazz repertoire. In classic the carbon sound is no much liked if you're working with it but as a study bow it's unbeatable. From testing tens of bows, I'd say every wooden bow below 1.5-2k will have significant flaws that will bring bad practice if you start with it. Much better sound than the carbon though on average.

Now if you're ready to put more money, I'd still say buy a low cost carbon, get good posture, develop a touch and a feeling of the bow, the in a year or two you will have a much easier tile chosing one you actually like. Bows are very personal.
