For your first time a balloon is fine. As long as you don't spit in the juice it's going to be fine. It won't even be leaving the container until it's done so a balloon is no more likely to contaminate it than an airlock. The balloon is a time honored method, most people are just scared of using something different, my grandfather used balloons for every batch of his dandelion wine.
