Which fading clippers should I choose and which are better? Andis Fade Master or Oster 76 Classic?

Long story short, my girlfriend is willing to buy me a set of clippers. I am looking to use it mainly for fading hair (1 1/2 on top and either bald or skin fade).

I have been doing research and both the Andis Fade Master and Oster Classic 76 are best sellers, but in my case which of the two would you rather get? I am new to the barber game so I need help on this one. Or is Wahl Senior good also?

Also, what is a good T-Liner?

So what is the best choice and why? Thanks everyone!

Oster 76 are rotary clippers. Rotary clippers take interchangeable blades like a #1.5 blade(4.0mm = 8-9 day's hair growth) that snap on and off. I don't mean plastic clipper guards but the actual blades. There is no taper lever on an Oster 76. It is not a clipper used to taper hair. An Andis Fade Master is an Andis Master fitted with a fade blade. The taper lever adjusts the cut between #00000(0.2mm=10 hour's hair growth) and #000(0.5mm=24 hour's hair growth) by flicking the taper lever. A regular Andis Master adjusts between #000(0.5mm = one day's hair growth) and #1(2.4mm=5 day's hair growth.)
#1.5 on top is an extremely short butch cut. On about 90% of guys, a crew cut more fully suits.
