X86 / X86-64 or ARM. Mostly just due to how accessible information is on them but if I had to choose I'd go with ARM personally. Most used in smartphones, tablets, and other such devices. It has a simple and consistent instruction set, a clear and logical syntax, and a modular and scalable architecture.

Some of the x86 instructions are so complex and niche that they can be considered esoteric. So heads up: if you jump in and attempt to learn x86, then get completely overwhelmed, it's not you.
