My advice would be to skip them both for now... Buy an 1GHz Athlon system and a Catweasel MK3 PCI... Run either WinUAE or Amithlon.
Minimal install of Win98se, replace shell=explorer.exe with shell=winuae.exe in the system.ini file. Enjoy your CHEAP, FAST, CLASSIC Amiga emulation box :-D
Use a hard drive caddy and switch out operating systems, such as AROS! (thought I'd throw you a plug Bloodline)
