If you must start on sax, most teachers would recommend starting on alto sax. It's the easiest to control and much smaller and lighter than the tenor which is the other likely candidate. The soprano is smaller yet, but it's difficult to play in tune and there aren't parts for soprano in much band music.
Personally, I'd recommend that young players start on Clarinet. It's smaller and lighter, and fits young hands better, and it's easy to switch to sax later. It's also easier to lug around and costs less.
Serious reed players are expected to play any of the clarinet and sax families, as well as Flute. Players who start on clarinet will find that easier. It's much easier for a clarinetist to learn to play sax, than for a sax player to learn clarinet.
