The Howarth S20 Oboe is a very decent instrument to learn on (an beyond) but I second the comments about reed complexity.

Oboe reeds are much more expensive than clarinet reeds and very easily damaged. They are also very difficult to adjust to playing order.

On the plus side I would say that the oboe fingering is considerably easier than clarinet, however that is not a major deciding factor.

If you really are stuck with having no help at hand to get you started, then clarinet would be the better bet.
