Start with ring games or sng?

It depends on your preference. Both types of games are easily beatable. But if your reason for playing sngs is to read player types, it won't work. The blinds stucture of online sngs is so wild that it is correct to constantly be changing your playing style. I forget who said it, but the best way to describe correct play in Party sngs went something like this: "Your play should start as the Rock of Gibralter and switch to kamikaze pilot." So it's next to impossible to categorize players.
