I like recorder 'cause it was easier to play and then you hear the ideal tone and sound, and once you master the recorder, you'll only have to add huge breaths, because flutes take air. I don't play flute, but because I play trumpet, I'm in the same band at school, so I've heard them plenty. Not to say other instruments need less effort and air support, you most certainly have breath support for any wind instrument, but something to watch out for.
