I think we need some more information for good advice. As you already decided to use Traktor Pro the Native Instruments controllers usually a good choice - they are tailored with Traktor Pro in mind. But without any information about your needs and wishes, your budget, music genre and mixing style I can suggest some setups but they will pretty sure not meet your needs. Especially your budget is important. DJ stuff can get very very expensive if you want a full grown setup similar to a club. (four CDJ-3000 and a DJM-V10 and you are in the region of 14.000€ here in Germany). But a starting setup can start at around 300€ (or even less).
If you aren't used to controllers and DJ equipment in general and therefore don't have any clue what you want, I would suggest to start with a NI Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3. Basic two deck controller suited for Traktor. If you want use four decks or need to bring your controller to the venue I would suggest an S3 at least as it has balanced master outs. If you are fancy on using effects a lot we are talking about an S4 Mk3.
And this are only NI All-in-One-Controller offerings. There are many other options by other manufacturers. Mixer with audio interface and a X1 Mk3 for deck control. A DVS setup and many more. Anything that has an CoreAudio interface and is MIDI-mappable would wort somehow with Traktor Pro.
As an example I describe my setup - which isn't really basic anymore.
Core of my main setup is an Allen&Heath Xone:96 - a full grown club mixer with integrated audio interface. My main decks are two good old Technics SL-1210 Mk5 which I use mainly for DVS control these days. Two get access to looping and effects in Traktor Pro I added two NI Kontrol X1 Mk2 and a Kontrol F1. My X1s also enable me to control decks C&D. On top I use a MasterSounds FX for additional effects and a MasterSounds ISO4 four-band master isolator.
As travel setup which can I take with me without a car I also have a NI Kontrol S4 Mk3. Key feature for me are the active jog wheels - as I use turntables usually it feels much more familiar.
Sometimes I also take the a Z1 and one of my X1 as really small setup with me.
