To the best of my knowledge, the default Bell is the best to learn on.
It's what I used, and it worked pretty good.

Well, stick with the 206B JetRanger3.... Its great, with a good VC too... It'll probably take about 30hrs to learn good -  check out hovercontrol.com for good advice and some scenery - I learnt at Hood River (Its in their library) as its got all the pads and stuff. Then i found that following AI traffic while they where taxiing helped my low speed control too. I would say keep the toprque with a twist stick - it makes it more fun!!
