I've personally never found silicone to get more sticky. Stickiness as they dry is more common with cheap water-based ones. Silicone takes a ton of time to dry in the first place, relatively. Stickiness goes away as you reapply in both cases.
I personally prefer silicone for actual sex. You don't need to bother reapplying as much; no interruptions. It's also a minor thing, but silicone has a thinner coating, so it feels slightly more intimate.
Although, I feel like water-lube creates "more" glide though, if you coat it on thick. You can also apply it to any toy. If you're new you can't really go wrong with it.
If you're just going by your local sex shop, pick up a bit of both and play around with it. They usually carry small sample-ish bottles. If you're ordering online and you're not sure, purchase some high-quality water-based. Don't buy oil-based or some weird novelty shit with a taste of strawberries or whatever.
I'd stay away from lube with numbing properties. It reduces the sensation, and you might accidentally hurt yourself slightly. If things are too big, you shouldn't force it in by numbing your body. Don't rush it, and give it a couple of sessions.
If it's really your first time, take it slow, cut both of your nails, and do some relaxing foreplay with fingers while cuddling. It's the best.
Have fun!
