Learning Morse Code, Straight Key or Paddles?

The eternal question and a sure way to start trouble at your next Ham radio club! Is the straight key a better learning tool or will the modern paddles and keyer get you there faster? Which is better for a beginner? This is not about what you prefer. It is fine to like one better. It is not about how it used to be done or by whom, army, merchant marine, etc. It is not about which one worked best for you. The amount of effort spent or how hard it is does not mean a better method. It is about giving the best tool to a new student of the code today.
