Circular saw all the way. You can get a good Makita for ~100 bucks and it should last you at least a decade. It really is BIFL quality if you're not a pro. You don't need the magnesium or worm-drive if you're just starting out. I highly recommend getting a plug-in saw, as even with powerful batteries I've had bogging issues with battery-powered circular saws.
From a circular saw you can cut your planks, square edges, make rip and cross cuts, etc. Even having a table saw and jig saw, I still use my circular saw quite frequently. Especially with something like a speed square or This little guy from BenchDog you can get pretty darn great cuts with the circular saw.
When you get to the point of needing curves or whatever, then you can add a jigsaw. But truth be told, I almost never use mine. The table saw and a hand saw are the only other two saws I use as much as my circular, with my bandsaw coming in a distant 4th. Most places I'd use a jijgsaw, I instead use a bandsaw to hog off most of the waste, then take it to a stationary belt/disc sander to sneak up to the lines.
