I am really leaning towards the 2019 Timebomb now over the Murray even though I’m a beginner. Is it fairly loose? Does it spin well for surface tricks?

Go District, Parks or RXT. Those are super friendly platforms. Even if you go with the One shape the extra $100 will be wasted for the TB unless you really prefer the graphics.
I have nothing against the one shape, but all beginners will ride continuous (faster) boards better. To ride a One (or any 3 stage) you have to be able to drive through the wake on every trick. If you come off edge on your approach your speed will drop off fast because 3 stage boards have more drag.
3 stage boards work best for advanced riders who really want to be able to romp down on their edge at the base of the wake and convert that energy straight up. In the right hand, they are magical, but 3 stage boards aren't for everyone.
I've ridden the Murray and the Timebomb, they are both great boards, but very different.
