Buying my first uke, any help appreciated, also, tenor or concert?

i want an acoustic electric one
i was thinking of getting the Lanikai LU-21 TE,
what do you guys think?

any suggestions on what i should get?
nothing more than $250ish

ALSO

wich do you perfer, and wich should i get, a tenor, or a concert?
my cousin told me not to get a soprano because they are too small and difficult to hold w/o a strap,

so wich should i get a tenor or concert?

It would help you a lot to be able to try out the different sizes. Do you have a guitar shop or music store near you? Perhaps they have some. Sopranos are not hard to hold, IMO, but tenor is a good size. Because you'll end up loving it so much you'll get all the other sizes eventually. Tenors are a bit more difficult to travel with. Sopranos and concerts (& sopraninos) are easy to stash in cars or as carry-ons. But it's a preference thing.
