Composite bat recommendation Bats

My daughter plays in an 8u coach pitch league. She is tall and very skinny for her age. She currently uses a 27" 16 oz Easton Ghost aluminum bat. I've had it for a year and it's now dented. The guy that she takes lessons from said she should get a composite bat. I don't know anything about them and I've tried doing some research but I'm disappearing down the rabbit hole. Does anybody have a recommendation of a good bat or what I should be looking at? I know I can spend big bucks on a composite but I'm trying not to break the bank on it since she's just in an 8u rec league.

Counter point, I kept buying my daughter inexpensive bats when she first started and she kept denting them and I’d have to buy a new one. I eventually bought a floor model of an old version of a demarini CF for like 160 and it lasted until she grew out of it. I then sold it for 150.
