Despite my open disdain for AdaCore's switch in licenses of their pubic versions to a GPL virus run time. I would say that it depends on platform and what you are looking to do if it makes sense to start with the FSF version or not.

On Windows for example until MinGW is updated to a more recent compiler and includes GPR tools you are probably better off with the GPL version regardless of use.

Based on what you wrote in previous posts, since your project would later on be looking at support best to start with the GPL version regardless of platform in my opinion.
