For SnS to be effective, you have to in-fight, which is going to be very difficult for a first time player. Great sword, Hammer, or even Long Sword would be easier for a beginner to learn with imo.
LS is a little more difficult for beginners imo, I would definetly go for a wep the gives you the block option. GS is what I personally was comfortable with cuz I was able to block and it does a good amount of damage against those early Monsters you'll face.
