Normal is usually the most balanced difficulty for the first playthrough. It's usually not too easy, and it definitely isn't too hard. With the limited time I have for games, I'd rather not waste it on too hard difficulties so hard is really not an option at first. I'd really like to pick hard but different games have a lot of variety between their hards which makes it pretty hard to predict how hard it's actually going to be. Normal, not so much variety.
