What length of wrist wrap should I choose?

Shorter wraps are easier to put on and allow more movement, while longer wraps give firmer support for maximal lifts. If unsure, a mid-length wrap tends to suit most lifters.

Can a beginner use stiff powerlifting wraps?

They can, though very stiff wraps take time to get used to and are usually saved for the heaviest sets. A newer lifter may find a medium-stiffness pair more comfortable.
