Get the Peregrine for you and give your kid whatever computer you had been using? 
Now it's time to choose a wrist computer.

I would never suggest any computer using RGBM algorithm.

Are you getting a new computer for you too, then? It is nice to have the same computer as your buddy.
As for me, it would depend on budget:
~$200 -- Mares Smart Pro (on sale at Divers Supply right now for $199, not usually sold that cheap)
~$350 -- Aqua Lung i330 (but check -- believe there was a recall at one point) - nice color display
~$500 -- Shearwater Peregrine

it's a commonly held belief here. Whether it's true or not is up for debate (or "personal opinion" as you put it), but a main reason people recommend shearwater and the deep 6 computer is that the algorithm is well known, understood, and open source.

The peregrine is the right choice, but if you don't want to spend that much money, then you should just go for a puck pro or something as cheap as possible. It'll work fine and safe for the time being until you inevitably upgrade.
I’m biased but I think the Deep 6 Excursion is hard to beat. It will do basic dives and easily expand as skills develop and dive profiles increase in complexity. My wife (basic diver) likes hers. She and I both wear reading glasses topside but don’t have any problem with the screen.
