I'm a begginer, everyone recommends two kit lens, should I get the Wide angle or the zoom kit?

Probably best value for the money is the two zoom lens kit.
The 10-30mm lens you will use most often. You will sometimes want more telephoto and will use the 30-110mm lens. The 10mm f2.8 can be useful sometimes with a little bi more sharpness and wider aperture than the zoom, but I think it is more of a special situation lens for which I'd give lower priority on the list of things to buy.
You can get a better price on a V2 kit from BH Photo than what is posted on the Nikon site.

I would get both. I would get the kit lens because it will be a good starter lens.
In time you will need a lens with more zoom, so get both.
For a beginner it is best to have one wide angle lens. (like a 10-30mm lens)
It is also good for a beginners to get a 30-110mm lens.

The reason everyone recommends the two lens kit is that you get the second lens at a huge discount. The 10-110mm lens is normally $250, but if you buy it as a 2 lens kit, it is only $100 extra.

The 10-30mm lens always comes with the camera, and at 10mm it is equivalent to a 27mm lens in 35mm format. Fairly wide angle, but not considered a super-wide angle.

The widest angle lens that Nikon offers is the 6.7~13mm lens which is equivalent to 18~35mm in the 35mm format, which is considered a super-wide lens. But that lens is quite expensive.
