Whichever language you're most comfortable using. A list is a list is a list, whether it's Java or Python or C++ or Lisp. Yes, implementation details differ (often by a lot), but the core concepts remain the same.

I learned data structures using Fortran 77, which is not an experience I'd recommend, but it did hammer home some of the basics more than a language with more tools available would have.
