(ok, I'll help keep it going)
As a non-pro, I would think that a standard ball (found at the alley)(oops!
I mean lanes) would be the best, from the standpoint that each coach/
teacher/parent/sponsor has his/her own style.  As pointed out, let's
get the basic delivery down first.  The learner will develop his/her own
style, from natural body rythms, strength, hight, weight, etc.  Then,
should the person decide to bowl, it is up to a competent pro to tell
them what kind of ball (including weight, material, drilling, and
balancing) will improve thier game and best complement thier style.

Great! I'm about to get killed a million miles from 
no where with a gung-ho iguana telling me to relax!
