I am looking at a project that would require boring about 120 holes
of 3/4 inches or so in aluminum.

I'll be following this thread with some interest.

my question would be what mill is the simplest to start with ?

I think some have more room for ball screws than others and some
offer a more stable Z and longer quill. some of the round column
mills don't seem to offer exact vertical lifting without some rotaton
movement.
