Hi Dave. If you are planning to do tee shirts, then you'll be looking for a press that has a minimum platen size of 15"x15". Anything smaller than that makes it difficult to centralise the shirts on it and restricts the scope of what you can do.
Swingaways versus clams is a matter of personal choice. I use swingaway presses myself, but clams will also do the job.
Most of the mainstream suppliers in the UK offer a range of products to choose from. Many of the recommendations on these forums are for stateside built presses, but many are not widely available in Europe. You also have the difference in operating voltages to consider.
Hope this helps.
