I like the low light/maintenance plants, most will go into higher light systems if needed
It can be frustrating if you done chose the right plants for the right lighting situation though (not to mention expensive)
Best plants for newcomers (i still use these quite a lot)
Java fern -hardy as anything, self propagates too, so you get new plants to scape with
Crypt Wendtii - Another self propagator, also quite hardy
Java moss - Can be invasive, but looks great if kept trimmed and tidy
Peacock moss - Looks awesome
Anubias - Various leaf shapes, slow grower and is tough as boot leather!
You'll find it hard to go wrong with any of the above. Looking forward to see your tank!
