My thoughts after a year of playing and introducing others.
If you are new to racquet sports and just want to hit around with friends, a <$20 amazon, walmart, target fiberglass paddle will suffice. Even at 4 paddles with balls for ~$50 is fine. It gets the family and friends outdoors and provides entertainment. Great for kids, friends, or family weekend. I was proficient enough with racquet sports to keep up and play a decent game but noticed my drops, spins, and control were limited by my paddle. My kids still use these and damage them all the time. These are great for introducing new players. Stay away from wooden ones. The are loud, vibrate, and deter you from wanting to play more. If its free from a promotion or something, thats fine. I would not spend any money on wooden ones.
If you enjoy it and want to do spin, power, drops etc. a <$50 paddle works well.
Temu/Aliexpress/Juciao -Raw carbon fiber paddle works just as well and provides the features you need to advance, learn, and make meaningful improvements.
Friday pickleball is another brand that offers 2 for $100. Great spin, pop, decent power. This will hold you for quite some time and even work as a backup paddle. Great customer service, good return policy. You can even borrow for "90" days if you would like to see if you like the game. Downside of Temu/Ali paddles is the vendor and quality control issues. You have to deal with questionable vendors in China and hope for an ability to return. I purchased a carbon fiber face paddle only have an image of carbon fiber fabric laminated onto the face. My credit card refunded me the money. There are a lot of knock off vendors in that market place. The Juciao paddles started off as a knock off brand, but now is turning into a more legitimate paddle company (but also cost more now). Friday will at least QAQC and let you return if you are unhappy. The Friday and Juciao paddles easily rival paddles in the $150 range.

If you can identify your technical strength/weakness during games, you would probably be in the $100+ range. You find paddles that correct for what you lack or want to amplify. As you get better most people move away from large sweet spots and focus on power or control. Players often own many different paddles to be able to switch their play style (unless you are that good and consistent).
I currently use a selkirk invikta power air as my primary to smash and have faster hands. My secondary/fun paddle is a $40 Juciao from temu. Whenever I feel I'm off my game or want to switch it up i use this paddle. It is also fun to try something different and make you focus on different aspects of your game. Currently looking to pick up a Friday paddle as well after demoing one. Great bang for your buck for $50. They all play a little different and will help you play better if you know what you are looking for. (more power, more control, bigger sweet spot).
Im a slickdealer at heart. Always looking for the best bang for your buck. The high end stuff is mostly for looks, status, and bragging rights.

Great quality, features, and customer service. Cant speak for the Challenger, but their original is pretty dang good.
The Spartus looks very generic "T700 Thermoformed" paddle from aliexpress or temu. Even their "Apollo" paddle in their photo is the same red ones on temu that go for about $30-50.
