Traditional characters are not as mainstream, though some countries still use them. Simplified characters are used by China and a few other countries. So depending on which region you want linguistic access to, you can choose accordingly.

You can start from simplified Chinese. It's the foundation of reading.Chinese Charactets are full of history and cultural information. It is a complete system by itself. It's interesting.

Hmm ... About interchangeability, I am not sure which way is easier. I think that depends on the person. I think either way, you will start to recognize the other version once you have a strong enough foundation in the language.
