If you're new, get something with parabolic edges. You'll crash less.

The bigger the roller diameter the less watt input required. Aluminuim rollers will feel & stay round longer.

stay focused and don't look down for a few seconds :) as soon you loose a lapse of concentration you will be sent off kissing the floor

i have a set of Tacx rollers for years and years ago. They have never missed a beat (that being said, very simple equipment, very little to actually go wrong)
Mine aren't parabolic, and the learning curve is a bit steep in general.. but once you get the hang of it, no problems. The pay off is a silky smooth pedal stroke :)
just to make things difficult, I think you can get rollers with completely straight rollers, or straight with curved edges, or you can get concave rollers.
Those Tacx Galaxia rollers look very interesting!
