Which aircraft is best for intial training

For a person with zero prior flying experaince, I think a Cessna 152 or 172 would be the best fit for flying, however, i would like to know if a person can start learning to fly in a much larger aircraft, such as the Pilatus PC-12 or the Piper Meridian.

What are the rules and regulations that restrict a private pilot from flying a havier aircraft? I know you need to move up the ratings to fly in IFR, but what about in VFR with a much larger aircraft.

thanks
