Start with PLA. It's the easiest material to use, the most common material that people you ask for help will have experience with, and where pretty much everyone starts. Some "PLA+" blends are good if you need the ease of PLA but need the printed items to be a bit tougher. Expect to pay about $20 for cheap but decent PLA, and about $30 for higher quality PLA (more consistent filament width, etc. so tighter accuracy). Hatchbox is great for cheap but good quality PLA. Duramic is an excellent if slightly lesser known brand for PLA+, and it's the same price as cheaper PLA. Paramount3D PLA is slightly more like PLA+ than regular PLA, and the price is less than it should be; they have incredible colors too.

Definitely upgrade to a direct drive system for TPU and PETG. TPU is flexible, which makes it hard to print without direct drive. PETG is stringy, but using a direct drive system helps substantial. PETG is hard and tough.

Get an enclosure in order to work with ABS and ASA. ABS is basically "normal plastic" that you see in everyday items. ASA is basically ABS but with better resistance to the elements, so it's good if you need to put a printed item outdoors. These materials need to slowly cool, otherwise they will warp; put the printer in an enclosure to contain the heat and any toxic gases from printing ABS.

Forget Nylon unless you make so many upgrades that the printer is about 50% upgrades and 200% as expensive after the upgrades. You probably don't need to ever print Nylon or other industrial strength materials though. ABS/ASA and PETG are usually tough enough.

I'll second the gst3d filament recommendation, I've used a lot and it has been good.

Stick to only PLA+ until you're confident.
Microcenter has worked well for me but is $16-$25 per roll.
GST3D has also worked well and is $9/roll if you buy 10 rolls. Expect a BF deal.

Good luck!
I've been using strictly GST filament. On my second order of 10kg. I really like the white and black only. The only time I order a different brand is when I want to print silk PLA. If I buy another 3D printer, it'll be another E3v2 due to the enormous support community.

Check out thingiverse (all free stuff you can print, and even stuff you can customize). Lots of cool stuff you might not have even imagined printing until you see it on thingiverse.

You can even print parts for your printer!

Been looking at Thingiverse it is a great website. For any other sites for 3D print design? I am a total newbie to the 3D printing world. Learning all the different lingo too!

Every printer I have looked at the past few months has been cheaper elsewhere. Ender 3 max for $269 isn't bad since they don't tax, everything else looks pricey. I got my Ender 3 max for $250 not too long ago, but with tax it wasn't much cheaper than the direct price.

Get the Aquila if you are considering the E3V2, it was $150 direct from flash forge today.

Just got a printer 3 pro a few weeks ago on a whim but haven't set it up yet. How quickly do you go through a roll? Does it make sense to buy 10 rolls if this is your first printer and you really don't have any idea how often you would use it?

If you're new to printing I would suggest waiting to buy budget filament (gst3d) until you know enough to troubleshoot any issues you might have because of the filament. I have had problems with gst3d with contaminated filament, under/oversize, and moisture.....it is decent filament once you know how to make it work for you though. I would recommend using hatchbox for your first roll to get familiar with the printing process and possible issues you will run into.
