Depends what you want it for - is it just for sleeping or will you be cooking, storing stuff etc.
If I speak with my Scout Leader hat on, then firstly I would always advise you go for a size at least 1 man bigger than you need (i.e. if there are 2 of you, go for a 3 man etc). A decent sized porch area is good for storage / cooking.
A pop up is certainly easy - practice taking it down in advance as that is inversely proportional to the ease of erection.
Vango do some great low/mid priced tents as do the outdoor shop "Go Outdoors" - their "Hi-Gear" range is very good and often mirrors higher priced brands.
Sewn in ground sheet means warmer, less likelihood to leak, but also less air flow - NO NOT TRY TO BBQ INSIDE A TENT WITHOUT AIRFLOW.
Hope this helps
