Joola is an odd spelling of Selkirk.

Honestly.. none of these. Selkirk rocks old technology with Spray on grit that isn't covered under warranty and are really a legacy brand at this point. Most of their offerings under $300 are comparable to $30 no name brands on Amazon since they use eerily similar paddles that look and feel like Chinese direct paddles.
I'd even say the 2 for $30 offerings from nuipipro are better because it lets you play with someone and see if you want to commit to the sport with better paddles
Friday is a better product for the ≈$50 price, and for $100 you have many good options you can't go wrong with offerings from the following Vatic, Spartus, six zero, Friday fever, 11six24 and similar. $200 and above is the newest tech that I personally can't be bothered with.

I agree with this guy.

New to pickleball is also a wide range. If you are new to any racquet/paddle sport, I would say limit yourself to <$15 a paddle or a fiberglass set for you and your friends. get a set of 4 for $40 and play with your friends/family at a park.

If you played racquet sports and want to challege random people at courts (comfortably swing a forehand/backhand/slice) then the warping pro deals arent too bad for a gen 2 paddle for <$30. If you want more paddle and $, then the Vatic, Spartus, six zero, Friday fever, 11six24 are plenty for rec players.

The Selkirk Evo is a decent $50 paddle. That's what I used as a starter and just got another one for my wife. Friday paddles are another good $50 option. Newer models of Selkirk and Joola paddles are overpriced, but these "last year" versions are a solid value.
