If you have yet to learn a layout, might as well go with Dvorak. Getting
an accurate speed benchmark on the different layouts is hard to do since
most dvorak users used qwerty for a long time, but there is a reason why
we end up sticking to dvorak. If not faster, its definitely more
comfortable and more fun. ;)

As for Japanese keyboards, you don't have to worry about the special
characters if you just tell the OS to use the layout you want (easier
said than done on "certain" OSs though). It also helps to stop other
people from using your machine (easily).
