Probably landscape. You can do it with just about any lens (standard zoom such as the 18-55 can do it just fine) and you probably don't need to use a flash or any kind of lighting. With macro you may need a macro lens or closeup fliters (depending what you want to do), flash, maybe reflector. I personally am a bit bored of macro photography (seems everybody is doing it) I want to shoot more people.

Yep, I'd agree that landscapes would make a better starting point. Both however, have thier own learning curve. Before you start a lot of shooting have a look at some good landscape images to get an idea how to frame a shot. Take your time and look at a scene from different perspectives.

An image that didn't work one day may the next because of a change in weather or light conditions.
