I do think a straight key is good when you're starting out because it forces you to concentrate on correct timing. One trick to get your timing correct is to set up your code-practice software to send a known text at a slow speed. Using a code practice oscillator, send along with it. You'll get immediate feedback on your timing errors and will soon be sending perfect code.
That will stand you in good stead when you then switch to a speed key, either a semi-automatic bug or a fully-automatic keyer.
