For most investors, especially beginners, I recommend avoiding individual stock picking and instead investing in broad market ETFs. SPY and VTI both offer diversified, low-cost exposure to the US stock market, but SPY's concentration in blue-chip firms has led to better returns and lower drawdowns. VTI includes mid- and small-caps, which can boost returns in early bull markets but also increase volatility and downside risk during downturns.
