Question: Which coverstock should a beginner choose?

Answer:

Beginners should start with an entry-level reactive resin coverstock (solid or hybrid) for learning to hook the ball. Plastic coverstocks are also good as a spare ball because they go very straight. Avoid high-performance reactive balls until you have consistent form, as they can be harder to control.
