If you really like the game and are into the cosmetics of the game, the GotY edition might be worth it. In general, $10 only buys 11 boxes.
But the GotY edition gives you 10 boxes AND 5 guaranteed skins that are not otherwise available, all for the $10 difference between standard and GotY. You also get things for other Blizzard games (e.g., Tracer for HotS and a Hearthstone card back.
Since you said you've never actually played the game before, make your decision after the free weekend. As far as playability goes, there's zero difference between standard and GotY, so I'd lean towards standard unless you really love the game.
