I'd recommend the Kraken if you're fresh into the sport and haven't played even one game. That way it's not a great loss if it turns out not being what you expected. Though i'd recommend renting a gun above all.
It's a great gun for it's price. If you're just starting and you're not willing or able to spend 500+ on a high end gun it's a good choice.
I went the Kraken route as i was really tight on cash and two of my friends had just gotten into the sport. I got lucky, it was great right out of the box. But being the tinkerer i am i ended up putting money into it. In the long run, to end up with a high end gun it will cost more, and it will be a pain.
If all you need is a gun that shoots well, all i'd recommend for upgrades is a shim job with some metal bushings, lube, and a paint job. Anything else isn't totally necessary unless you're willing to go all the way with it.
I should be clear that my story is a Kraken success story in terms of major upgrades. BUT it was not without it's blood, sweat, and tears. You have been warned.
Now that i have been around the block, i would pick up a full metal ICS, VF, CA, etc now that you can get them from retailers in Canada.
