The first question to ask is what is your price range. If you are looking to save money and do not really care about having a super nice slackline then I wouldn't read the rest of my comment. If you are willing to spend more money then I would get a name brand that will be easier and better for slack lining.
Some things to know at the start is that yes you should get tree wraps. This is because if you are in your own property you will want to protect your trees, and if you are at a public park, you do not want to get slack lining banned because you killed their trees. They are cheap, but if you want to save money use beach towels. The next thing to know is what true length means. Slack lines will advertise a length of " X " amount of feet but that does not mean you can walk the whole distance of " X ". They will include the length of the ratchet which will make it seem longer, but you do not walk on that part of the line.
Another good thing to know is what you want to do with slacklining. If you only want to walk and do some basic tricks then you would be fine with something like the Gibbon classic line, but if you want to get into tricklining then you would appreciate the Gibbon Jibline. There is also long lining, which is more like the Gibbon Surfline.
My first line was the Gibbon Jibline. It is 49 feet long (true length 41 feet) and I found it on Amazon for $63 dollars new. But that was a sale price, now it is more expensive than that. I really like the brand Gibbon. I wanted to get into tricklining so I skipped the classic line went straight for the trick line to learn on. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009AARZ3G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9xu3DbDCBPCF0
I also have a longer Slackline Industries long line. It is also a trickline and because it is longer, better for bouncing and getting more height. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C7SVXT4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Fvu3DbFDFJ15Y
I know the Amazon review is bad but trust me I like this line a lot.
Even starting out with this line would be nice because you would not have to use the full 85 feet true length.
Someone said something about going to a store. A good store near me is called Sierra Trading Post. They have cheap prices on new lines. But for Amazon, I would check those lines out. The two I mentions are my top picks. I have used other brands but didnt have the same feel. Gibbon and Slackline Industries are worth the extra few bucks trust me.
Let me know if you need anything else! Glad to see more people wanted to start slack lining.
