Cane reeds for sure. More flexible, as Paul says. More forgiving of both the player and the mouthpiece, not to mention placement on the mouthpiece.

Also, you are very likely going to change reed strengths pretty frequently in the first months as your embouchure develops. Legere reeds are a terrible value in that situation due to their cost and the fact that you will have to change strengths even more often as you rise through the quarter size increments. (Each Legere costs roughly the same as a box of 10 cane reeds.)

Many players all the way through the top pro levels never find Legeres to be a great choice except in very specific circumstances. Some do and play them exclusively. Wait several years to experiment with that if you can so that you are gathering data at a point when it will be accurate and useful to you. Learn to play (and eventually adjust) cane reeds first. You will learn quite a bit of important information about how the clarinet works in the process.
