I've used both styles of pedals and, hands down, the Crank Bros. are my favorites.

Never used either type, so I am not much help....
But, you mentioned being a new rider. Are you comfortable clipping in? If not, regardless of which you decide to use, try to practice on a trainer so that you don't fall over lots and lots
I use light action speed plays and find them super easy to use. I used them first in a trainer for about five minutes (the first clip in was awkward), but then after that, I took off on a ride! They were super easy.
