A beginner may want to use an ortho sheet film to start with, since it can be
handled under a safelight. Ilford Ortho Plus is an example. They may also
want to see what films are available through Freestyle Sales and Photo
Warehouse since that may be less expensive than going to the local camera
store.
As for sheet film tanks, the HP CombiPlan tank seems to have a good reputation.
It seals and can be inverted for agitation. The commonly available FR tank
does not seal and can't be inverted. Another way to process sheet film is to
use film hangers. This still needs to be done in the dark, but you can
process multiple sheets at the same time without worrying about scratches
in tray processing. And then there are processing tubes for sheet film.
