Maximum value for money and they all come with a JTAG interface AND ICE equivalent functionality, not simulation.
For a novice, Emulation (that show what actually is going on) makes so much more sense than simulation (that show what is supposed to be going on).

I for one have my reservations on simulators and emulators - and instead will advise to go for the real ones.
Emulators are 99%+ 'the real ones' and - in my opinion - invaluable, I would cry if I had to use a simulator.
