I agree that LuaLaTeX is the only sensible recommendation for beginners, and is actually easier to use in most cases, but there can occasionally be some complications with old packages/classes/preambles that were written with pdfLaTeX (or even classical DVI LaTeX) in mind. This is fairly rare, and usually means that the package/preamble is just broken, but hearing that isn't very useful for users who just want to fix their broken documents.
