It _Really_ depends on the game. There are a very small handful of games where starting on anything but the easiest difficulty will likely piss you off, and make you quite not long after starting the game (Stalker). For games like that, I always go with easiest difficulty and work my way up.

For almost all other IP, I'll usually start at Hard, and then proceed onto the harder difficulties (if they're unlockable).
