Bit of a newfag, started lifting about a month or so ago. I've heard loads of good things about creatine but don't really know where and what to look for. What're you recommended brands and types Veeky Forums?

dont use that shit, its all water weight and you'll lose all your gains in a week after you stop taking it
Creatine is cheap, is a mild nootropic (smart drug), and lets you workout a little longer and a little harder. There are really no downsides. Except remembering to take it every day.
No point in wasting your money on that as a beginner. Just work out correctly, buy good foods and get enough rest.
If you still want to try creatine because all of your friends also use it than at least don't fall for any SUPER CREATINE FORMULA X20 CAPSULES MASSACRE memes. Creatine monohydrate.
I use BodyTech Creatine Monohydrate. It's pretty good.
>wasting money
Creatine is about $0.10-$0.15 per 5g scoop. That's literally pocket change for something that does actually work. One less trip to the bar will pay for two years worth of creatine.
ignore all the fucktards saying not to buy it
Why should a beginner who won't be able to tell the difference from is newbie gains bother with it? To even worry about that instead of just lifting and eating right until he stalls is putting the cart before the horse.
A beginner will not be able to feel any improvement in his performance from taking creatine. A beginner should be focused on learning proper technique, getting the frequent trips to the gym into his life routine, learning about nutrition, putting what he learned about nutrition into action and eating well and resting enough. If he does that he will be able to improve with every workout either way while creatine intake would be a factor so unstable and little it wouldn't even matter.
Oh for fuck's sake, it's not like he can't do that at the same time? No creatine is not a miracle but it's not like he's asking about going full bore into a $150 a month supplement stack expecting to come out looking like Arnie either.
