Personally, I'm a fan of the Hawkins Pressure Cooker It's an Indian brand - extremely well made and has an audible "whistle" for timing purposes. I would recommend 4 or 5 litres -- plenty big for one person, but just the right size if you decide to cook for a larger crowd. Keep in mind, you're never to fill the pressure cooker up beyond 2/3 of the way.
Despite what a lot of people may say, the american pressure cookers have a single, large and expensive fail point, not to mention many have a safety feature which is irreplaceable (blow out section in the lid, for example.)
Plus most of them are aluminum, if that matters to you.

An extra $10 or so gets you a spare gasket (they don't wear out quickly though) and an extra screw in pressure relief valve in case you blow one.
These are used in India, where replacing things is too expensive, so everything is built to last, and things that can go wrong, are easily and cheaply replaced.
