just tell me thisPerhaps make your way to bretonia to start with Clydesdale, a bit better to move around, better placed weaponry (imo).
When you have enough money - try to make it for an APC ! In Nephele, if I remember correctly, but I'm not sure.
Not much bigger than a Defender-HF, still much more maneuvrable than a rhino OR Clydesdale, BIG and very well placed GUNS, and despite its smallness a corgohold more than 5-times the rhino.
I think in freighter-class the nbiggest crgo hold, next would be small train. (Please correct me, if I'm wrong.) -

If you have starting money (10M), get an APC. It should pay itself out in about an hour doing legal trade from Crossfire to either Sidewinder, or Manhattan. Or West Point - Manhattan.

STARTING MONEY IS 150K

Asking what kind of freighter to buy (without further information) is a little like asking what you should study in school. Only you can make the final decision, and the factors involved are complex and personal.
That said, the advice about the APC Armored Transport is excellent. The APC is one of my favorite "general purpose" ships in the game. It can take a beating or dish one out, and it has a huge hold for a multi-function ship.
Another general purpose ship worth considering is the Bullpup Mk3 "Assault Freighter".
Choosing between the two:
Both the APC and the BullpupMk3 are similar in terms of cargo, armor, and weapons; with some minor differences:
The APC maneuvers more quickly than the BullpupMk3 and has stronger armor, while the BullpupMk3 has an extra weapon hardpoint and is one of the best ships in the game for escaping an attack.
Personally, I choose between the two depending on the mission. The APC is my first choice for general purpose missions (so I agree with the other advice on this thread). But the BullpupMk3 is my first choice when I face overwhelming opposition.
Suggestion: Earn a lot of credits and try both. Either would be a fine starting point.
The Dromedary is one of my favorite ships in vanilla Freelancer, as well. Rhino and Clydesdale are good early in the game but, for your second character, you will probably want more.
