That is an open ended question, if there ever was one.
Are you looking for large crowd scenes, or small intimate setups (dinner table etc)?
My recommendation, if you are looking to own, get something small and portable that can run on batteries, and easily be clamped to a shelve or similar.
Don’t skimp on grip gear like gaffa tape, plastic-strips, charging stations, safety chains, filters and so on.
Have good insurance.With the above in place, when doing bigger scenes, hire the kit. As you might need a bigger place to live if you buy it.
Just an opinion.
