You REALLY need to play 2c/4c limit... if you check the newbie FAQ, you will realize you should have about $50 to to play 1c/2c nl. But yes, the $1 SNG's are a safer bet bankroll wise.

If i have to play NL, which is better.

You know my thoughts on this. you can sit at 2/4 with $1 and be ok.

BUt try this very simple approach to Limit, especially for these limits:

EP:

Raise all pairs >JJ, limp with the rest. Raise all Broadway aces, limp with suited aces.

MP: Same as above, but now add 0 gap broadway cards, raise if they are suited, and 0 gap SC's 56s and up

LP: Now add all broadway hands, Raise if they are suited. Also, Regardless of what you have, if you are CO or Button, and it is folded to you, raise, and then bet the flop if they check to you.

IF you Hit the flop, Cap it, don't slowplay, you make more money this way, If you miss the flop, fold to a bet unless you have good overs AND a backdoor draw. Overpairs to the flop are good 95% of the time.

Try this VERY simple approach to limit, and you should do ok.... Read as VERY SIMPLE. You should turn a decent profit it at the 2/4 tables playing like this.

firstoff ignore roastbeef's advise.
second: you can live off of 15$ on .01-.02nl. I mean you buy short, so its like 15 buy ins of 50bb. If you bust out 15 times down there then you are vary bad. personally ID build roll with 13 trys @ sng if 2 spots pay out of 5. come to UB, i like pissing away $ on the short handed .01-.02nl at night.
