I think both of those are good recomendations. Though for a starter who is going to do more practicing then playing I would recommend the Malletech CN14. (concerto series) These mallets are unbelievably durable and have a good weight. I have found that both the Lee Howard Stevens and the Gordon Stout series tend to either fray or just wear down rather quickly. And the last time I bought the IP240 they had a finish on the sticks. The mallets sounded great, but I ended up having to sand off the finish.
With this kind of question you are probably going to get a lot of personal opinions. (mine included) I think the one of the best routes to go would be to find someone with a bunch of mallets and try them out. See what you like and then buy.
Congrats on deciding to become a marimba player. I wish you much luck in your journey.
