I'm very new into 3D printing scene, so far only been printed with PLA.

Also have some ideas that includes some motorised parts with gears. Do you think PLA is a bad choice for this?

For gears in general PLA is fine. If they have a lot of friction they will heat up and that’s where the PLA could fail. But PETG is very easy to print with! You’d need to adjust nozzle and bed temp but it prints very nicely. :)

PLA is fine to start with though. If you see failures you can switch.
