I'm fairly new to this whole arduino thing, so I'm not really sure which one to go with.I have ordered the starter pack to introduce myself to it and teach myself how to use it ...
You will have a lot more fun if for your first few projects you work through some of the (many) tutorials and ideas online. Just get up to speed on what it can do, and get your skills up. Then new ideas will naturally come to you. Good luck.
