Dextrose vs Cane (table sugar)?

Summary

OK, I’m sorry if this has been asked (or even beaten to death) already but I only come up with a select few results when I search the website for this topic so please forgive me if I’m just not searching the correct word(s).

I am new to home brewing beer and have seen videos, recipes, and conversations, and so on about what kind of sugar to use when brewing. Is Dextrose sugars best to use because it is finer or is table sugar fine to use as well? Please, tell me what the big difference is in such a small batch (5 gallon). Will it differ from lagers, ales, porters etc. or is it just a science I need to find out what works best to my taste buds?

Thank you in advance for all your assistance and comments on this topic. I can’t wait to get started making my art and sharing it with family and friends!

Oh and my favorite beer is Henry Wienhard’s Belgian wheat beer (love that orange flavor)! Anyone have a recipe that will be close to that flavor that I can tweak to my likings?
