I'd like to try doing both: "I recommend bug X for front-end work, Y for back-end work, and Z if you want a challenge. But if these are uninteresting, see the full list of good second bugs!" I find that the recommended bugs are usually the chosen ones, but I wonder if some contributors have something they're extremely interested in and limiting their choices holds them back. But at the same time, I can see a counter-argument for decision paralysis. Perhaps a bug list is better for the [good third bug] (or fourth!) case?
