Buy the Indiga CTR for pure beginner forgiveness, otherwise the Extreme EVO if you want a teardrop stepping stone.
Both are budget beginner rackets but they're aimed at different first-year players. The Bullpadel Indiga CTR is a classic round-control beginner spec: low balance, soft EVA, fibreglass surface, 360-375g. It does what beginner rackets should do — soak up your mishits and keep the ball in play.
The Head Extreme EVO is the slightly more ambitious starter. At 350-365g it's lighter, and the teardrop shape with medium balance gives it more bite when you swing through cleanly. The Power Foam core is a bit livelier than the Indiga's soft EVA. It's the bridge racket between true beginner and your first intermediate purchase.
If you're brand new and want maximum forgiveness while you build technique, the Indiga is the safer call. If you've already played a handful of sessions and you can feel that a pure round racket is holding back your attacking shots, the EVO will reward you. At this price the build quality is similar — pick on shape, not specs.
