the selection is exactly what a beginner needs. two control lubes, and two speed lubes. there are some control options with more gumminess, and some with less, and some speed options with gumminess, and some with less.
for a beginner, the ease of mixing lubes would be right at your fingertips. they will last a long time despite the seemingly small sizes. i also think the bottles are much easier to squeeze than the 5 ml bottles.
it makes the lubing process simple and not scary, knowing that even if you mess up, you can just wipe the pieces down and start over. the fun thing about these lubes, is that a beginner doesn't need to take their puzzle apart and reassemble it either. just add six drops to a gap and scramble!
