Choosing a flash for a beginner

Hi.

I want to buy a flash for my daughter to use with her Canon t5i.

She's a good photographer but has never used a flash other than a pop-up.

Should I just stick with a Canon unit or buy a cheaper off-brand?

Canon has a refurb Speedlite 600EX-RT for $349.

On the flip side, the Yongnuo YN560-IV Speedlite gets great reviews and is only $69.

It is a manual flash. I do not know how that factors in to ease of use, etc.

Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.

Alan
