I don't think it's possible to recommend you one or the other based only on the fact that you are new. It depends on what your priorities and tastes are. I wouldn't presume that low cost is your top priority which seems to be the line of thought in the previous posts.

In my opinion you should buy the highest quality brush you can afford, and depending on your budget it may be boar, badger, or synthetic.
