Basically Rider is the best one to start learning, when you're done memorising all the layers of meaning encoded in every card you could perhaps move on to a less traditional deck, but most of them are still Rider-based to a greater or lesser extent, even the less conservative ones (like Joie de Vivre, Steampunk or Arthurian Legend for example)

Aside from this tradition, there is Marseille / Visconti, which are basically derivatives of medieval/renaissance playing cards, whilst the majors and court cards look interesting, the pip cards don't really have any imagery, so might be a challenge reading them (I don't own any of these decks)

The third tradition is known as Thoth (Crowley-Harris), the symbolism is a bit more complex and requires more studying. There aren't that many decks that could be labelled as Thoth-based.
