It also depends on their musical background in regards to how you 'wean' them onto the music you most like yourself. I'll use my girlfriend for example, her general musical taste has always been classical and chill out music.
Two years ago I sent her the 'airdrawndagger' album because I thought it would be something she could appreciate, along with some Massive Attack and Portishead. She had no interest in the Sasha album though, but had much interest in the others.
Also, for trance she doesn't have much interest. But then I play some of those trance (ambient remix) and she enjoys them a lot more. Then after she knows and appreciates the melody, she will then even like the trance version because it is something she knows.
She likes the Sultan & Tone Depth remix of Roads and also the Quivver remix of Do you really want to hurt me, because they are familar songs with familiar vocal. She even liked the white label mash-up from 99 of Moonman's 'Don't be Afraid' ove UBM 'Loving You', but again because the vocal is familiar she finds it easy to appreciate.
I don't intend to turn her into a TA, but at least she learns how to appreciate a wider range of some of the music she wouldn't normally listen to.
And now she is a fan of Sasha's 'airdrawndagger' too.

momu - the dive
Play it safe, start with Tijs...
I started with Tijs, my mom is starting with Tijs, my best friend is starting with Tijs...
Tiesto @ Innercity 1999 concludes all that is starters-trance.....
Than the entire Magik-series.....and ofcours the ISOS-series...
When they're confortable to that, you can add the Armin and Paul van Dyk, some Chicane and Faithless.... Dash of Ferry....
I think than they're ready to find their ways on the path of trance.... But that's my opinion and my approach....

when I checked out Astral Projection, totally dig this stuff. It's gonna make a killer racing game soundtrack too. 
I think that you, the friend, should definitely be the dj that introduces them into trance. I have done so in the past and it has been so much better than giving them a cd from a big name dj.
Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that I am better than a big name dj; the only reason I say this is because YOU can show them how passionate someone can be about this music... YOU can relate to your own mixes and they can feed off that and find their own niche/genre.
While, yes, giving them a cd from a big name dj is one thing, you should remember that the big name dj cannot sit there with your friend and get into deep discussions about the music and how it's a genre that you can take what you feel from it, rather than mainstream where they sing the song and convey what THEY want you to hear.
But first and foremost, they would have to come to you (because nothing should be forced upon anyone). That's the most important thing.
Nu-Nrg - Live at Orgasmatron any of there sets there are massive enough vocals to keep non trancers entertained and very melodic.

If I was going to take someone to their first show it would be to see Ferry...hands down. He puts on such a great show and his energy and vibe is intoxicating. I have taken a few people to see him for their first show and they all were blown away. Two of those people did not listen to trance at the time. One of them is now doing trance music (she is a singer).
If it came to live sets or Cds I honestly don't know. Ferry at Avalon is a good live set. Tiesto's old stuff is good. It would really depend on if my friend was into high energy, epic, melodic, hard, etc music. When I got my brother into listening to trance it was after giving him Oakenfold Cds. That was a few years ago though.
