In general, I think it would be easier for a "newbie" to start
with XEmacs.  This is mainly due to the fact that XEmacs has
automatic ways to download and install various packages to set up the
emacs environment.  It's also a little more like other Windows
applications in its behavior.

Once you get your feet wet, you can try them both and see which you
like.
