My suggestion would be a pin down symmetrical solid, drilled strong, CG out with extra hole, keep the surface around 1000, something like a Furious. When your a relative beginner starting out you want your small arsenal of balls to have a large difference in ball roll between them. That way it will make it very apparent on when you need to pick one over another. For league the ball above could be first out of the bag if the lanes are fresh with hooking back ends. That layout will read early enough not to over/under on the back yet still have enough lope in the core not to burn up and plack 10 pins. As the lanes break down and you migrate left, you can go to your VE as it will be more angular off the spot and you can maintain your carry.
As your physical game progresses you can filling 'holes' you see in your arsenal as start experimenting with a wider range of layouts, ball surfaces etc. Try to make ball choices that make sense and fill a void in arsenal.
You will have mistakes, but hopefully you begin to see way layouts work for you and which ones don't. Buy some abarlon pads as well and play around with ball surfaces too. That's one benefit from have a more than a couple of balls in your arsenal as you can have two or three balls same make/similar layouts-but different surfaces. Benefit is that you keep them that way rather than shining / scuffing the same ball over and over again to fit different tournaments.
