Of course the mechanical one. Just use the mech once and you'll never want to go back to a membrane keyboard.

ZM-K500 is a rather low-end mechanical, with "Kailh" switches rather than genuine Cherry MX, but it is still probably a better choice than a non-mechanical.

if you want to use macros then the sidewinder is the only option

If you don't care about those then get the mech

Hmmm, I actually say the sidewinder over the mechanical, because the sidewinder is one of the better membrane keyboards out there, and you should probably start your mechanical with a slightly more established keyboard, such as the CM offerings.
