If you are just starting in woodworking, I'd recommend a reenforced rabbet joint for drawers. I've used them on several projects, they look good, are more interesting and artful than screws or nailled together drawers, and they don't require a dovetail jig.
As for picking a dovetail jig, I'd recommend getting something that will last for quite a while as you develop, like a Leigh D1600. Just my 2 cents worth.
The reenforced rabbet is just a rabbet joint, after the glue-up dries, drill holes through the sides of the joint and peg with a differently colored wood. Walnut in a maple or birch drawer, for instance.
