I know everyone, or at least alot of people, have differing ideas of best levels to get in the Gorge for first timers.
I'd like to hear recommendations and your reasons why. I'm thinking 1800-2000 for my first time.
Also are there any rapids that Mercury can be compared to?
Cheers!

Whatever level you decide it would be great to go down with you for your first time. It would be a great way to reconnect also.
I can't recommend any first time flows. I think 1200-1500 would be the easiest. You would probably really enjoy 1800-2000. I don't think there is much of a difference between 1800-2000.

This is from my experiences paddling the Green ~10 times; I'm sure some long time locals who can tell 20 CFS differences may have their own opinions, but...

The easiest level really depends on your skill set and paddling history but if you're a typical WA III-IV paddler (who can deal with waves better than rocks), I think a little higher (1600-2000) would be better.  I don't think I"ve been on it below 1500 and it was pretty junky at that level; lots of little, relatively hard to see rocks that can bump you off line or catch a downstream edge if you aren't on your guard.  The waves and holes aren't that much bigger with a little more water but the small FU rocks are more padded.

As far as Mercury, it compares best to a lot of really non-descript and unnamed rapids that you normally wouldn't worry about.  I would say it's just a standard Middle Middle type rapid.  The big differences between it and the MM are that it's kind of junky and super shallow, and the Nozzle is below it (the Nozzle is easier and smaller than MM's House Rocks though).  The line is sort of straight down the middle, maybe on the left side a little (it's junkier on the right, and IIRC has some larger boulders on the lower right).  No necessary moves or anything.  There is a wave hole that you can punch if you don't want to avoid it.  It's kind of tall but pretty harmless.  Just point straight downstream and paddle!  Don't flip over, because it's really shallow in places and the water moves fast.  But there aren't any lateral currents or any obstacles that a downstream-pointed boater with a little momentum and an active blade in the water won't cruise right through.

In my opinion, 1800-2000 would be the easiest level. A lot of the rocks are covered, but nothing is pushy. I think Mercury gets junkier below 1600 and at lower levels I've hit rocks in the bottom wave train.
Mercury is basically a wave train with some hole dodging recommended. At those levels, no holes on the left line will hold you (that I have found). Good thing about Mercury is there is recovery spots after the top section and at the bottom before the nozzle with plenty of time to roll.
The green is an amazing run! It is beautiful with tons of good whitewater

1800-2000 CFS. I suggest putting in at Headworks, getting a warm up, practicing a roll or two, hitting the drop at railroad bridge, and relaxing before heading into the gorge.
