To answer your question, I would recommend B+ or B3D. From a language perspective, they are identical, unless you start using the 3D commands in B3D, which I guess you will not aim to do as a beginner. Max is the future, and most of what you learn with B+ or B3D is transferable, its just that the documentation and extra concepts in Max can be daunting to begin with.
