If your just turning dowels and you need one tool,a 3/4 or 1 in skew will get you started. For turning square wood you will
need a 1/2 to 3/4 in gouge. I use a 1/2 in gouge and 1 in skew.
Main thing is,buy the best you can afford. Alot of guys buy Sorbys as they are one of the best. You can also try a used tool shop where sometimes you can find English Sheffield steel tools at a good price.
