Ruy Lopez with both colors: 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5
Scotch opening. The best thing for beginners to play is those openings which open the board very quickly.

I think any opening that gets you to a middle game unscathed is a good choice. Look to the London, Colle, Vienna g3 variations as white, possibly the Pirc, modern systems as black. Keeping it simple initially. Get comfortable in the basic plans and practice strategy puzzles.
Some will always recommend play e4 play main line openings but these come with many variations. Learn the basics then when you’ve improved and comfortable you can always look at introducing other openings bit by bit

That's actually already a bad question. There is no good (nor bad) opening for a beginner such as yourself (and everyone of your and similar rating). Despite of the hype over the openings, their funny names, tricks and so on offered online, there is no point in learning any opening at this stage. Better check the opening principles, and try to apply them from move one. If you'd start from that, it would be already a great step forward.
