If you’re just learning 3A, it won’t matter a lot, even if the yoyos aren’t matched. Just grab two 1A yoyos and learn the tricks. As you learn more and get comfortable with 3A, you’ll start to figure out which characteristics you prefer in your yoyos; as with all styles, it all comes down to preference in the end. For instance, since I play with very short strings, I like yoyos with gaps small enough to play well with short strings. As with most people, I like to have long, stable spins as well. I also like a wide, comfortable shape I don’t have to adjust for. And it helps if I have more than one I can set up identically with dual silicone. Currently, my preferred 3A yoyo is the Hitman. ---
