If your goal is to learn the basics of WordPress theme development and gain a deeper understanding of how themes work, stay away from any theme "frameworks" such as Genesis, Headway, etc...
They definitely have their place, but if you're trying to learn this stuff from scratch they have a lot of extra code and functionality that will get in the way.
I suggest using underscores as dbloc mentioned above. That's the bare-bones theme that I use as a starting point for all of my custom themes. It's great for hacking to pieces.
A lot of the premium themes out there bundle in everything under the sun. For the most part those kinds of themes suck from a developer's standpoint, so stay away from those too.
