I'm thinking of buying an oscilloscope. I wonder if anyone would care
to offer suggestions as to what I should look at? Maker? Type?

Two channels should suffice, but I really don't know about bandwidth.
I'm mostly interested in digital signals, so the usual entry-level 20MHz
is probably too small. Let's say 25ns pulses should be at least visible -
would 40 MHz be enough? Or is it rise time that matters?

Thanks in advance,
