I would say that it depends a lot on the platform and study area in which you plan to perform, to decide first of all what kind of system you want to start with ROS (computer, robot, embedded system, among others).
In my case for example I started with SBC Single Board Computers and the best and most economical option to start with sensors was the Raspberry PI where I did my tutorial from ROS Hydro through Indigo to finally get to Kinetic.
In my opinion there is not much change between versions before the eyes of a beginner as long as they do first of all the tutorials (you can not skip them for no reason, I would recommend).
The main goal is to select the device or platform on which you expect to work and from there select the version of ROS compatible, if you do not have any clear application it is better to start on a computer or laptop with the LTS (Kinetic) version, do the tutorials and start experimenting.
