Is it better for beginners to learn hard pen calligraphy or brush calligraphy?

Depends on what you have to do.

Practical, hard pen calligraphy, after all, hard pen writing is still very common.

Art, brush, in fact, it is not difficult to learn to write coins with a brush.

If you have to learn writing brush for a long time,

Pay equal attention to art and practicality, learn both, and make overall plans, and progress will be faster.

I feel the answer is ok, please give me the best.
