I'd say C# because you don't have to worry about properly converting variables between types where C++ is strict about this. I would suggest learning C++ though.

I'll say the same as Jordan, C# is way easier to learn than C++ - especially if you have no programming experience at all. But in the end, C++ is probably a stronger language to use.

Strong type checking can be a blessing and a curse. When you are deliberately being fast and loose, it can be a curse. When you screw up your fast and loose work with types, it's a blessing

As for me, I like C# much more. There is more developed strings processing, no problems with pointers as in C++. But possible there may exist tasks where C# will not help, but only C++.

All depends on your goals - what do you plan to develop.

There are a large number of professional games (All Blizzard games) that are written in C++.
