Welcome aboard......
Most play stock and learn the ropes, other jump into mods. Stock will teach you the basics and always a good place to start, but remember it's not realistic and has several bugs that can drive you nuts, such as non stop planes where they don't belong. Just expect changes when you move to mod and many of the habits you learn in stock you'll have to adjust. The first thing you'll notice about mods is graphic changes, they improve 100%.
As others stated, this game continues to evolve, almost to the point of historical perfection if you set the game up the right way.
There is a version of the supermod TMO called TMO with Training Wheels. Basically gives you the eye candy, 100's of changes, but an easier AI and stock playability. It's a good next step.
