the first pokemon game i owned was sapphire and i thought it had a good tutorial and was really fun. it's a great way to start off. i got firered soon after, and even though it's a good remake of the kantou region it's not the kind of game i'd start out with. but since firered was newer, there are more things to it, such as the wireless connection ability with an added in adapter and the vs. seeker item. sapphire has a nicer storyline though, and allows you to create your own secret base and connect it with other people. it just depends on what you want.
FireRed for me, anyway. I personally hated the R/S generation -- it was unoriginal, uncreative, and generally boring. FireRed may be a remake, but at least it's a remake of a really great game. Assuming you haven't played Red, Blue, or Yellow, FireRed is the way to go.
