Ceramic 10" Doumbek the best sounding?

Went to Guitar Center in DFW to hear the various sizes/models.My opinion was
that the 10" ceramic with roped skin sounded the best.What do people
generally recommend as the most desirable doumbek? How unrealistic is it to
play a roped natural skin drum in a variety of conditions? How hard to tune?
This one was $100-Drum Circle(?) the manufacturer I believe.
thanks to all who respond.
