I agree with Flockwatcher. It entirely depends on your set-up.
If you are looking for eggs, the easiest birds are the hybrid egg-layers. But it changes if you are looking for meat birds, dual purpose, showing, etc.
It also depends on if you are free-ranging the birds. If that's the case, and you're looking for birds that can take care of themselves while free-ranging, OEGs are a great idea.
It's all relative. One of the great parts of having chickens is that there's chicken for every situation. They're very customizable to your life-style.
