If its a first gun, or even second or third, I recommend a Biller. For shooters with more experience a Riffe or one of the custom solutions (such as the Wong gun) is the best way to go. Since you've asked this question I'll assume you're not terribly experienced. Biller guns give an excellent quailty/performance/cost ratio.
In pretty much all cases, wooden guns perform better than metal, band guns far better than pneumatic.
Maintenance for a wooden gun is simply rinse well. Maghogany or, even more so teak, hold up fine for years. Obviously check your bands and shock-cord rubber often and replace as needed.
One note- if you plan to tank hunt you may, depending on several factors, find it difficult to cock a long (over 48") gun with your gear on. I recommend trying before you buy a 52" or longer gun.
