Being new to training, just about any program is going to work for you. Less is more is going to keep you from burning out and those nagging injuries.
I would stop looking at being tall and lanky as harder to pack on the weight and look at like being tall and lanky means you can pack on more weight. My son had the same problem, 6' and wrestled 160 lbs in high school. Always complained in the gym that he could not grow, because he was not built like me (5'9"). I told him that is the wrong mindset and he has the potential to be a lot bigger than me, to train like a big guy and eat until you cannot eat anymore (not junk). Five months later he is 178 lbs and just as lean.
