Hardtail. If you can get one, MTB Comp from Boardman, 650 quid, decent kit (recon forks, juicy 3 brakes, x.7 gearing, nice ritchey wheelset) crazy amount of spec for the money!
Hardtails are also best to start off on, light, nippy, and as it's not as forgiving as a full sus, it'll be better to get the technique down, then when you feel you wanna go too big for a hardtail, get a full sus, go big, get hurt, get back up.
