If you're set on the 'D' in RDA, I'd suggest an IGO-W as a dripper. Simple platform, gives very satisfying results.

If you want a tank to go with the coil/wick platform, the RSST is a great genisis-style tank and I can't say enough good things about the kayfun family of toppers.

You should, of course, research these models to see which best suits your wants/needs.

there are many options, I started on a aga-t2 which isn't the easiest, then progressed to drip atomizers. Just make sure what ever you are buying you understand ohm laws, battery types and have the proper gear to build on. You need at minimum a pv with vv/vw, some jump straight into mechanical. I started on a lavatube 2 and vamo with my builds at 1.5-1.8ohm(vv/vw most will limit you to 1.2ohm and above). Now that im comfortable with my abilities to make good coils I solely use mechanical's and build around 1 ohm.

I can recommend an IGO-L for a first dripper, vaping one now, and an RSST as a first Genesis style. If your using a regulated MOD with an ohm meter your good to go otherwise I recommend you get a multi-meter or ohm meter for rebuildables.

A Genesis with stainless steel mesh can take a while to get the hang of but once you do it's worth it. That being said a dripper is the easiest build but you can use cotton yarn in a genesis to get the hang of rebuilding as well as a decent vape before you try the stainless steel mesh.

You might want to consider an AGI. It is a "transformer" type atomizer, which means it can be used as a dripper or "transformed" into a Genesis style atty with a pyrex tank. I highly recommend searching out and watching several videos on Youtube showing how to build a proper working coil. Make sure you have an ohm meter or a VV/VW device that will measure the resistance of your coil(s), and ALWAYS measure your coils prior to using them! :)

I wouldn't get an IGO-L. Its annoying wrapping the wires around the screws. Get one with holes in the posts. I just bought a Nimbus clone from Aquavaporcig. It's dual coil capable. Haven't used it yet though.

The post holes make build a little easier but I find IGO-L style coils terminals stay tight and IGO-W through post hole tends to loosen if not torqued perfect. For a typical coil I prefer to catch wire under screw head. IGO-W affords both options and is a win win.

I wish IGO-W had second air hole dimpled for dual air hole easy drill. Then user could choose single coil option.
