Hi
As you are new to turning I suggest you wait for a while before deciding which chuck to buy - you'll be able to make a more informed choice that way.
Hopefully you will have a face plate supplied with the lathe, you can use this to mount 'bowl' work by direct screwing, via a glue chuck or a jam chuck.
Get to know your lathe and what you want to do with it in the future, then decide which chuck will suit you the best.
Scroll chucks make life easier but there is nothing that they can do that cannot be acheived by other means.
Regards Mick
