Suggested 3x the size of your internal drive.
Back up your Mac Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support
some examples from a trusted vendor all things Mac
OWC External Hard Drives for Mac and PC
Portable External Storage Drives
Thunderbolt External Drives from OWC
Always recommended to format /initialize any new drive:
Erase and reformat a storage device in Disk Utility on Mac
You need to drive that’s at least two up to three times as large as the data you were backing up.
I normally do not recommend an SSD for a Backup due to the additional cost. However, since you’re backing up a laptop, a SSD would be a better choice. You could easily drop your backup drive, which could more readily damage an HDD.
I use Samsung SSD's (EVO series) for most of my Macs and have no issues.
