I've ridden both and punctured both on the track. I stayed up on my clinchers and came down on my tubs...because of how and when the puncture happened.
As it's your first bike I'd recommend clinchers - I've raced on them as well (put lighter tyres & tubes on for racing) and for a track beginner they're just easier to deal with than tubs. And probably less expensive. Hope that helps.
