I think jQuery is better for a beginner because there's less stuff there. It's closer to learning raw HTML/CSS/JS, which will serve you well in the future, once the next thing replaces react/angular. You can also just drop a single CDN URL into your web page without worrying about a JS dev environment, which is not simple to set up these days. That stuff is useful eventually, but I think it's distracting at first and obscures the fundamentals of how the web works.
