I am no Ubuntu fan (I use openSUSE) but there is no way that this distribution is better for new users than Ubuntu. The mind share Ubuntu has is huge as much as it pains us Ubuntu is the reference when it comes to desktop Linux.

There is enough crosscompatibility (eOS is based on Ubuntu) that as long as users are told to use Ubuntu resources I think they would be okay.

That said, it's tough to get in the mindset of someone who isn't already comfortable in linux, so I really don't know.
