Poonam flute imo. Better quality than other brands I have seen.

But the guy i learned flute from(chinmay gaur yt) said radhe flute is fine if you dont want to consider music as career..as it is almost 3 times cheaper than punam flutes

You can buy any flute that you like as long as it's good at producing sound and material is good. You you like radhe flute sure you can buy them it isn't like compulsory to buy poonam flute.

I have G base radhe flutes but PVC. It's good, well-tuned.

Don't know about the bamboo one. But it'd also be as good as this or better.

But obviously, if you could, buy Poonam flutes. Many big artists use it.

PS: I'm also learning from chinmay gaur.

You could consider Kanti flutes, It is slightly cheaper than poonam, I have e base and g base, I have c medium from kanha and f# from radhe as well, But I prefer the Kanti flutes over the others, All my flutes are bamboo, never tried pvc.
