Buy the best you can reasonably afford, but be sure to get at least 10x optical zoom so you can see those pearly whites.  Go from wide-angle to right-in-the-action with digital zoom. Don't forget image stabilization so your movies make you look like a pro.  See every drop of sweat and painful grimace at the game. Go for maximum digital zoom and the ability to snap still shots.
