I started on a Nexstar, and found it very easy to fly. I had to sell it a few months later, but then bought a used Superstar 40 the next season. No matter how hard I tried, I could never get that Superstar into a death spin, and it would land its self every time. It was just a totally impossible plane for me to crash, no matter what compromised position I could think of.

I would start with what I know first, the Nexstar. It won't be excessively forgiving like other trainers, as long as you don't use the AFS. But if you want something that's more like the others, the Hobbico Superstar 40 will probably be around for you to pass to your grand kids, if you don't get tired of it first.
