First decide if you want helis or planes. You just asked that question. Get to know what you want. ONce you do, well recommend you everything you need in terms of your conditions (Cash, flying sites, etc...). TO asnwer your question, trike is the way to go for beginners, but youll go taildragger soon enough. Almost all the aerobatic planes are taildraggers. Try to learn on both and see what you like. So far i only have trikes so i wouldnt know, but from my experience in trikes, they are certaibnly much easier to learn on.
