Hi,
If the game takes History into account, the go for the islands, they should give you allot of money, if not immediately at least in the long run.

As said above definitely the islands as they have at worst 4 but most of them seem to be 6 base tax. Brazil is reasonable but a few provinces down is a region that has 5-6 base tax area's.
(Rio de la plata, Banda Oriental and the surrounding provinces.)
Would go for Brazil first though just to deny the AI and you probably wouldn't have discovered the provinces under it quite yet.
Central america isn't that great, take the coast and a bit in lands around Delaware and Manhattan, 4-6 base tax.
(Note: This is however from the demo, so it is subject to change)

Well it will largely depend on your location + colonial range. In any case, Brazil has good territories with 4/5 base taxes and pacific natives. The islands north of Brasil have like 5/6 base taxes but they mostly have very aggressive natives. And Carribbeans are pretty good.
Pick the colonies at the mouth of big rivers. They get a trade bonus. Mississipi, Rio Grande, etc.
Mexico gives gold which you can use to fund other colonial adventures. I'd say go there first, while of course colonizing places like Cuba while you fight Aztecs.
