As a noob to anime, I was recommended attack on titan and hunter x hunter.
which should i watch first? And with English subs right?
You should watch whatever is more appealing to you... subs or dubs are fine, there's hardly any difference these days, the dialogue is generally better in dubs, but the voice acting (if japanese voices don't bother you), is generally better in the original language. In older anime (80-90s and some early 00s) there were more issues with translations, and while not often, this occasionally would change entire plot points or character development around, which is detrimental to the overall story. English dubs utilize the same voice actors over and over and over, so basically after you've seen 3-5 shows, you'll start hearing the same voices in everything.
It's apples and oranges, but I generally wouldn't recommend a show like HxH to a first timer, there are some weirdish anime things in there that might turn you off, although it's one of my personal favorites (obviously). Of those two I would go with AoT, but I think Berserk, Death Note, or Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood are all better options for introducing someone to anime, especially because HxH and AoT are both unfinished, so kind of a dick move by your friend. HxH especially might not be finished for decades, if even at all.
