I wanted a Luger for a long time, and purchased a Ruger Standard .22 because it sort of looked like a Luger. I call it "the poor man's Luger". While I enjoy the Ruger and still have it, it just made me want the real deal even more.

I looked hard at the post-WWII Interarms/Mausers but decided to get an original Luger as a shooter, as the price is about the same. I wound up with a WWII era military Mauser shooter. Unless you feel a pull for a different era, I think that is the best way for most new collectors to go.
