Rye, WBS, Oat. not in any particular order. I think it's up to personal preference with all the addatives people may throw in.
I use wbs because I like to feed the birds around my place. 
Wbs can get clumpy/slower colonizer than rye or oats.

I mean, it's personal preference. I wouldn't say any are more noob friendly just don't use shit like popcorn, or premade bags. Follow a tek for WBS, oats, rye, millet, or wheat and you'll do fine if you follow the instructions.

I disagree with rye. I like whole oats better.
Whole oats are a LOT cheaper than rye, and if you get triple cleaned racehorse oats, seem to contaminate a whole lot less from what I've seen and read. You can also easily get this grain at local feed stores. If feed stores aren't an option, you can get them at TSC too, though watch out for the producers pride brand. I hear it's dirty as hell.
I just picked up a 50lb bag of triple cleaned oats from a feed store for $9. You can't ask for much better than that.

Yep, that's the biggest downside of WBS. It's very hard to find it with no cracked corn thrown in there.

Get the Safeway store brand original mix. It's been fairly good to me. Just pay attention, you'll see which ones are legit.
Avoid 'no waste' at all costs. Those usually have hulled seeds and nuts like sunflowers, which will get things sticky and starchy.

That's why I like whole oats. Starch is a non issue when you prep them correctly.

My main worry is its Saturday night I'm a few beers in and much codeine in and I get a very itchy credit card so I want to know what I'm looking for ie different unusable variations like some wbs isn't right something I can search and buy safe in the knowledge its the right stuff. I won't be using it for a while only just done the first transfer on agar Also I'm in UK so US store names aren't relevant here bar Walmart which is ASDA here even then a lot of Walmart stuff isn't sold in ASDA

Mazda.
Go to a feed store or a grainery. I'm sure you harvest grain in the Uk and have livestock to feed, right?
Ask them for rye or triple cleaned oats.
Pay cash.

Well try and get oats then. It's an incredibly easy prep (can be done in 30-45 mins) You need to find a feed store around you, call em up and ask if they got it. With WBS there's a ton of variation unless like I said, you find a big bag of pure white millet then that's a really good choice if you use Foo Man's WBS method

Just have a few varieties in mind when you go to the feed store, I was doing the oats for a while and then one time they were out so I went with a bag of milo(sorghum) and it has become my preferred grain. I don't know if you have seen this page from gr0wer but it's a super handy guide for feed store grain and soaking method. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22524362/fpart/1/vc/1 I do it just like this now and stopped my lifelong search for awesome colanders.
