It's all up to your personal preference, but that doesn't help much, does it?
Personally, I used pads for the first year or so, then switched to tampons during the day, pads at night later on. Now I don't even use either, because I found the menstrual cup (like the DivaCup or MoonCup) and you couldn't pay me to go back. The menstrual cup is made of silicone and it's reusable. I find it more reliable than tampons.
You may find that you would prefer to use pads until you are more familiar with your periods. That way you don't have any nasty surprises when you have a heavy flow day, and you don't end up using too high an absorbency on a light day.
If you're comfortable talking to your mother about this sort of thing, you might want to discuss it with her. All women have been in your position at some point :)
