I prefer Limit as I find the swings tend to be less. As a semi-new player this allows me to concentrate more on card issues over bankroll issues (a bad down swing and I'm more concerned with the pschylogical issues of bank roll management than playing aggressive).

I've played both to a degree and feel they are almost like two completely different games and require different skill sets. You should choose one that fits your personality type (meaning the learning curve will be less) and then learn the other when you have the basics of hold em down.
