Keep in mind that supposedly waterproof cameras like SeaLife DC2000, Olympus TG series, Nikon AW series, etc, depend on a thin and fragile o-ring to keep water out of the camera's vulnerable innards, and can flood just as easily as - some would even say more so than - any housing.

given how small these doors are, I'm on the side of 'much more likely to flood.'

For a newly minted diver, I'd go with the GoPro.  Shooting video is less demanding while getting good output.  It's tiny, only has a couple buttons, so the distraction factor is minimized.  Older models, or current non black models are pretty cheap.
