This was my first electronics project as well and I chose the Honeywell sensor because it has decent humidity accuracy (which is what I was mostly interested in) and a bonus temperature sensor built in. It uses the I2C protocol for communication which I found pleasant to work with although it would probably be simpler to just use am analog voltage sensor.
Here's the program I wrote to read the sensor over I2C: https://gist.github.com/tsyd/f48e933a21fb40b9f9eea28118f54e0...
