It depends on what key the single horn is in. A double horn is pitched in F and Bb, switching between the two keys with the thumb (T) valve. A Bb horn is easier to play because there's less tubing to blow through, making high notes easier to hit and lower notes clearer. However, the tone of them is particularly bright, giving it a nasty sound in the horn's middle and mid-low range. Because of this, a double horn a popular choice because it gives the musician the best of both worlds.
Despite this, starting off on a single F horn is actually a wise choice. Beginner horn music is generally really simple, so the higher and lower ranges of the horn aren't used. The longer they stay on the single F horn, the stronger they'll be when they switch to a double.
Usually the Trombone, Baritone, Euphonium, Tuba, Bass Clarinet, Baritone Sax all play in bass clef.
There is no thumb valve on a single horn. However, the valve on a double horn is used to make the notes easier to play. You can play higher and lower notes, and have more diverse fingerings.

2nd valve
French Horn they have some of the same fingerings and is extremely similar to the trumpet.
It actually depends on what your playing them in i.e. a Brass band or an orchestra. Most marching/brass bands use the tenor horn, baritone and euphonium as the mid octave voice. Orchestras use the french horn because of its smooth versatile tone and range. The valve configuration between the French horn and the baritone is different. The baritone, Tuba, cornet, trumpet etc all use the same valve/finger configuration. So really the decision is down to where you see yourself playing in the future. Remember most good brass players are able to switch between similar instruments (i.e. those with a similar size mouth piece ) easily
