As a starter kart, an old Tonykart Viper would be perfect. They are still competitive and because of the new CIK karts, you can pick them up for as little as Ł400 on the market place. I'd advise spending more like Ł600 on a chassis to ensure you get a decent one. You could even give Paul Carr a ring to see if he has any new ones left - they'll be going cheap, I'm sure.

The Storm is going okay - it isn't a very animated chassis and the quality seems pretty poor (pod bars snap straight away etc). However, it's a bargain, so pod bars snapping are the least of your worries.

The TaG seems fairly similar to direct drive and clutched engines in all honesty. There may be a tenth or two between TaG and DD, so it depends whether those two tenths matter to you or whether not push starting the kart matters to you - but push starting is easy if you learn how.

In my opinion - and many other people's opinions - the DD provides a more driveable kart. It accelerates when you want it to and provides better feeling on the brakes.
