Greetings,
I'm just starting in the world of eurorack and looking for WT OSC recommendation. I realize it's a big question since there are so many choices out there.
Cheers.

Intellijel's Shapeshifter is an incredibly powerful wavetable oscillator. It can do a LOT. I'd recommend looking there first.
Good luck and have fun!

Plaits is a great place to start in modular.

Super versatile and playable sound source. MI closed up shop a few years ago, but all of their designs and firmware are open source so several companies offer a clone of it.

The Synthesis Technology E-352 and the IME Piston Honda are very interesting WT oscillators :)

There is no such thing as a "best wavetable oscillator". All have different quirks, different sound palettes, the UI facilitates certain modulations, etc...

With this being said, IME Piston Honda is hands down the best wavetable oscillator.

The Erica Synths Black Wavetable oscillator is absolutely fantastic when just starting out. it's incredibly powerful and versatile while being super simple and easy to use. you’ll be making amazing sounds day 1

Modbap Osiris is doing the job for me. I was (still am?...) on the verge of swapping for a Piston Honda MkIII but I am keeping the Osiris for the moment. Reason is the timbre function and modes: it gives this OSC added value in terms of sound shaping. FM (FM 1 to FM8) at your finger tips, unison, bend, fold, sync... And a function of the Sub OSC that allows it to actually follow the WT scanning of the main WT. I have managed to get sounds just out of this world with it. My 2 cents and probably not someone's else ;)
