I learned on a hothead, and it was fine for the class and for the first month or so. Then I switched to a Bobcat. I love my Bobcat, I like the Cricket, Lynx and Nortel midrange. I always feel like I am struggling to get the glass melted on a minor.
I think if you learn on a really hot torch it may be harder to learn the difference between hot and molten. Most people seem to err on the side of working too hot when they start. I know I used to panic a bit when I would see someone keep the bead out of the flame for more than 2 seconds or so.
