Preparations for first cycle need help with soem decisions.

The main problem with incorporating a 19-nor into your first cycle is the instant and complete HPTA shutdown that they cause. This makes it rather bothersome if, like so many newbies who get in over their head, you decide after a few shots that steroids aren't for you or something. If it were test, you could just run a simple PCT and there would be no problem. With Deca, you have to wait 3 weeks then run a full PCT. And even then your recovery is going to be much tougher and require a better PCT.
So if you're going to run a 19-nor, you may as well use an effective dose and wait until you actually need it later on down the line, since 200mg and 500mg will both shut you down from the first shot.

Yes I have decided to completely rule out deca because it seems it is way to harsh for a first cycle, but how do you feel about my previous post on running test e 500mg 12weeks and eq for 10 weeks at 375mg(Considering running 500mg if you guys think it will be much more beneficial). EQ is clearly less harsh and provides all the results I desire quality lean mass and ability to retain it, and also I read it helps with joint pain alittle.

I disagree with that. EQ sucks for musclebuilding, though it is good for your joints, ligaments, and vascularity.

well even if it doesnt give me a bonus to my musclebuilding the test alone should build more then enough, and the fact that it is helpfull for my joints and ligaments is a big plus for me would 500mg be to much?
