Which one you know better NOW? If the goal is to study Python (assuming no previous experience), go along with the easiest for you. For starters, if you are using a GUI, go with Python's own IDLE environment. It is not "advanced", but neither are you at this point. And it does have some advantages (like immediate execution of commands to try out things). Spending time learning a complex editor like vi or emacs, will certainly pay up in the long run though.
