For starting players, go with heavy armor. Value damage and protection first, and when you start to gain more health, perks and enchantments, use whatever you like. Heavy armor is great for tanks capable to dealing out high damage and basically being a hurricane of pain, but the weight and sound makes it terrible for sneaking. Additionally, one could use it on a mage character, provided with enchantments. Light armor is for sneaky types and looters, since the lower weight will allow you to carry more loot.
