You aren't really narrowing it down much. What caliber, and what action (single or double)?

Do you want to learn to shoot a revolver? Look at a .22, a Single-Six for single action, or a nice K frame Smith in .22 for a double action.

Something that won't cost tons to shoot and is a home defense firearm? .357 magnum is awful versatile. .38 special can be shot out of a .357 for comfort and economy. But there's something to be said for a dedicated .38 as well. I'd love to have a nice model 14 S&W.

Want a .44 magnum? Something really big and powerful? Can be pricey to shoot, and quite a handful for a first revolver, but it is special, and if you can load your own, very flexible. Blackhawks, Redhawks, or N frame Smiths.

There's military history to look for if that's your bag, small carry pieces, police duty revolvers, cowboy guns, or hunting guns. You can figure out what size you want J frame Smiths and D frame Colts up to N frames and Super Redhawks. Don't overlook Dan Wesson or the Colt Troopers (both old and the Mk series) while you look. Regardless a quality American made revolver is worth having, you'll get good advice, but don't buy to meet someone else's standards.
