I would, because they will have to learn from scratch anyway, so why not starting with the most popular (by numbers of edits), most powerful, most versatile, closest to the community consensus and longest standing (i.e. most reliable that it will remain) editor?

Most people are not going to learn more than one osm editor, that’s why I would recommend they use Josm from the beginning.

It also may depend on the kind of people, their level of technical affinity.
