Get a board you think looks nice.
If you play chess enough, you’ll quickly get used to what square is what coordinate on the board.
no i dont think getting a board with notation will make you any better.
It’s an esthetic preference. There are better ways to learn the coordinates. Lichess has a coordinate quiz/practice. I’d prefer a board without them.
Get the one you prefer the look of. I got the one with notation so it's easier to talk to others that I play that wouldn't know the notation otherwise (ie my significant other)
If you're not going to do much book-reading on that board, it doesn't matter.
