Potato is newer stuff. The trade-off is that it is less stable -
hasn't been tested as thoroughly. Potato is almost ready for
release. It all depends on what you're comfortable with. The months
before and after a freeze can be pretty rocky, so I might recommend
waiting until it goes beta at least (since you're new to debian).
(unstable -> frozen -> beta -> stable)
unstable = under development
frozen = no new packages, bug fixes only
beta = final testing
stable = well, stable :)
On the other hand, I guarantee that you'll learn more and faster if
you upgrade :) Either way, have fun!
