The HEK is probably the easiest tool seeing as their are more tutorials on how to use it than any other tool out there.
Most, not all, other tools are a little more advanced and expect you to already have your map/tags made. I would stick with the HEK until your a little more comfortable with map formats and the fundamentals of halo map design.
Anyway, Along with HEK you will need
3DS max and a 2D Art program such as
Photoshop or
Paintshop Pro.
I know you said that your learning mapping but a really great place to start would be either
here or
here.
Hope I helped.
thx
