There is a very long 'what station should I buy' forum on wxforum.net if 
you want to poke around there.

But to answer, perhaps start with a few easy questions in order of 
importance.

Budget:

   - what is your max budget ?

Site considerations:

   - is a one-device setup (ex: Vantage Vue) ok with you ?
   - or do you want an anemometer at 10m and T+H sensors at 2m for optimum 
   readings  (ex: VP2)

Display:

   - do you need an integrated console ?  Color/modern layout ?
   - or are you willing to do it yourself (ex: display to a Kindle Fire 
   etc.)

Ability to run standalone:

   - is it ok if the gateway requires Internet connectivity (ex: Ecowitt 
   gateway's watchdog timers) ?

UV/Solar/Radiation/AQI sensors

   - how important is it ?  Those can get pretty pricey

Inside T+H

   - again - nice to have, or need to have ?

If you can live with the gateway needing Internet connectivity, you can get 
a pretty nice Ecowitt setup with color console for under $350 or so.  Less 
if you build your own dashboard setup and display to a Kindle or iPad if 
you have those around.

If you need true LAN-only, I'd go Vantage Vue and live with the cost for 
the logger and the Vue not being expandable.
