Cirrus is a great value with similar performance to the DG. The DG is a nicer glider though with a modern cockpit and easier handling for about 8-10k more. Others will stress the importance of a good trailer too.

Just looking at the flight characteristics, a DG100 with a fixed stabilizer (version DG100G or DG101G) will be the better choice for a pilot with low experience and training. The Standard Cirrus is a nice glider but requires some more attention in flight due to the all-flying tail and the lower pitch stability in general.
