Now that I've seen all three, I'd say to start with Ep1 and work through Ep VI. The prequels made me see that Star Wars is the story of Anakin. If you start with Ep IV, you think that the movies are about Luke and that Eps 1-3 are just filler background.
Personally, I think that the main reason why we (as in the older generation) didn't care for Eps 1 and 2 were because we were just too grown up for them. We are at an age where everything is scrutinized and nothing is just taken at face value.
I really don't see how more is spoiled by watching Eps 1-3 first. Only one thing is spoiled if you watch the prequels first: Vader is the father of Luke and Leia.
On the other hand, if you watch the original trilogy first you know that all of the Jedi will die, each of the other sith lords must die and wll eventually be replaced by the cute little boy in the first movie.
Really, which is a bigger spoiler: "I am your father" or Ani is the bad guy?
