That question is as old as simulators I guess. Depends on what you want to train.

Assuming you are completely new to heli flying? Then most find a big size heli (600, 700, ...) to be more steady. Add some expo and dual rate to make them even tamer. FBL or paddle seems to be very individual preference. If you start from zero, maybe use a coaxial or multicopter in ACC mode first to get used to orientations and stick inputs. Once you got past the basic orientation and can keep it in a somewhat stable hover, you may want to chose a model closer to you real life heli.

Since you still use the free demo version, the choice is limited anyway. just try the few models available.
