I would start by reading and understanding what bitcoin is first. You can read the white paper via the link below, where it says "the gospel according to Satoshi".
As far as the best coin? I only use bitcoin. Litecoin has some following, but almost all alt-coins are a train wreck and some are outright scams. I would avoid them until you completely understand the bitcoin protocol. At which point you will want to avoid them.

come on Roger. No noob should (or will) read the white paper. Only hardcore BTC geeks do that  Smiley
I get lost about page 5 myself.  By page 7 it turns to math and might as well be written in Klingon. Cheesy But I thought the first few pages are sort of  readable.
