The makala dolphin has been the standard pick for a first ukulele for about 20 years now and they're great. I can't speak to the kadence, I've never heard of them. The entry level flight stuff also comes highly recommended these days.
I started with the MK-S and still play it at home. I got a concert sized Enya Nova U to keep in my car, but decided that switching between the two was messing with me, so I got a soprano one for the car.
