I second the trials movement. I took classes for a few years in Adobe software so Premier Pro is my go to, but I also have had to resort to Sony Vegas and i can say that it was hard to transition, but it's all preference.
I personally find Premier Pro easier and noob friendly, especially when it comes to Exporting your video.
Use the trials, dont rush it and take your time, try the same project in both and see what floats your boat
