For home a small tube amp, like 5 watts mentioned, would be just great. And you don't have to pay all that much for a small 5W Blackheart.
Now there are solid state combos that sound really good aswell, check out the Hughes and Kenner Attax 100 -------------------- My bands homepage

Its definitly worth it! But be careful when choosing the power, they can be very loud (and you need to turn them up in order to get a good sound)

Tube is definitely the right choice mate. Do you have some kind of a budget for it? Maybe we can help with your decision.

Definitely go for a tube amp, they are far superior. As the others mentioned you only have to make sure you get the right power for your needs, it doesn't make sense to get a 150W monster if you plan to play it in your bedroom, this might lead to some angry neighbors...
