As a general rule, if you don't know where to ask, #getting-started is a great choice. Usually you'll either get an answer, or people will direct you to a better place to ask (whether it's a more specialized channel, or even an entirely different site like StackOverflow).
As to whether to prefer one solution over another, I think #getting-started is a fine place to ask, though you can try other places if you wish (e.g. #codingconventions).
