Silvestri makes an excellent 6x loupe.
It really all depends on what works for you
I started with a ubiquitous cheap plastic 9x Agfa.
I made it work good enough for several years.
Most all of my original LF gear was either cheap or nearly worn out because 1) I was broke and couldn't afford better, and 2) I wanted to start making LF pictures ASAP
Every year as my budget would allow, I'd upgrade one piece of gear and one year it was the loupe's turn.
I replaced the Agfa with a Silvestri (which at the time was pretty reasonably priced) and have never looked back.
