I would say corns, mainly because they're an ideal starter snake, and I'd guess it applies to breeding as well. If not for that fairly unreliable logic. All the information should be easy to come by for breeding corns, just as it is for keeping them.
I bought a book by Bill and Kathy Love called The Corn Snake Manual when I was first considering getting a snake, and it covers everything including breeding, incubation and morphs. So if you go for corns I'd definetely suggest you give that book a read. In fact I'd suggest you get the book anyway just because it's a brilliant source of info about not only corns, but issues that concern all snakes such as mites and RIs.

You're probably a bit late to breed ANYTHING this year - all of the adult females who are able to breed probably HAVE been bred this year already.
Corns are probably going to be your easiest starters - get yourself an adult or very near adult female, make sure she's well fed and in good condition (three years old, three feet long and 300 grams is a good starter guideline) and an adult or subadult male; you'll need to quarantine them (house them completely separately, washing your hands thoroughly between handling them, get a fecal check done for parasites and bacteria) for a minimum of three months and preferably six or more once you've got them. Once they've come through quarantine and you know they're healthy, then you can think about pairing them up sometime in early 2009. I would also recommend the Corn Snake Manual.

By no means is any snake easy to breed, but i would suggest either corns snakes, which has already been mentioned. Or garter snakes, which are live bearing.
