I think either one is fine for a 1st timer if you get an instructor with you for at least a couple runs. You want to make sure you're going to the drivers meeting in the AM, and that you have someone with you to teach you the lines of the course and help you out. As this says:

Big Willow is a very fast track. I haven't been on it in a while. It's great tho. I actually really enjoy streets too. I've only run it clockwise though, but I found it a lot of fun, and I like the elevation changes and twists, turns and camber of that track a lot. I think my FIRST track was Buttonwillow... I can't remember honestly. I started working with a racing company essentially the first day I went to a track event and started getting on the track all the time. You'll be hooked!
And my personal opinion?? Drags are for showing off your car. But if you want to learn some more driving skills and how to handle your car, doing a track day at streets or big willow is a way better idea. But that's me
Nothing wrong with drags, but the skill being shown there is in how your car was built or modified, not the skill YOU have in driving! And hey, you can have a fast car, not know how to drive it, and I could probably beat you stock if I drive smoother
