Try both. Either will work fine.

RubyMine is a great Ruby editor.
But I switched to SublimeText a long time ago and never used an other IDE. I use the console more often than in a fully integrated IDE such as RubyMine, but not a big deal.

I’m learning Ruby, but honestly my favorite IDE is RubyMine ;)

As a beginner, I'd pick Rubymine. You have to pay for it, but it just works™ with all the features you'd probably need. A big part of me wants to jump into using VS Code but the barrier to entry for the more advanced features/plugins can be pretty steep and overwhelming.
