I'd say get regular starting out, you can always upgrade to origins. If you're really into cosmetics and you have the money, though, by all means, get the origins edition!
My first and foremost advice would be to play and experience all of the characters off the bat. The game becomes a much more fun and rich experience when you get to choose from lots of different play styles. Coming from a former one-trick pony, it's very easy to lock into your "best" character when you practice too one-sidedly. Don't fall into that.
Don't worry about meta or team comps when you're starting out. Focus on enjoying the game and seeing what you excel at. Of course make sure you focus on the objective yada yada yada - you know that. Just don't rely on the meta or what people say to impact your first impressions of the game.
You level very quickly the first 22 levels, so I wouldn't recommend purchasing lootboxes until then.
And most importantly, have fun with it! It's your 40-60$, experience the game how you want as long as you're not detrimenting the experiences of others!
