If your hands are chubby and / or you mostly play guitar, think about the tenor size. 17" tenor scale instead of ~15" concert scale length makes it much easier for guitar players. You can find more detail here: http://www.boiseukulelegroup.com/uke-basics.html
One of my students has the Kala Travel uke concert scale, and that thing is loud for such a little instrument. Around $225

Also look into Cordoba's 15CM, nice concert uke for around $100. They also make a tenor size.
