Make sure you have an emergency fund first.
Between a regular and Roth IRA, I'd go for the Roth.
The tax break for a regular IRA isn't huge, and what's worse, you'll have to file a form every year to keep track of the proportion of IRA money that has been taxed vs. not taxed.
I'm slowly converting all of my regular IRAs to Roths ... I still have 30 years to retirement, and I can quit filing those 8606 forms.
Just get in the habit of saving. It will pile up, slowly but surely.
