Unless you have a preference, and that you're asking suggests you don't, buy the best one you can find for the money you've want to spend.
The riding experience is so similar that you'll not really find any advantage in one over the other in that respect, obviously the pointies will be later and therefore there's a slightly better chance of finding a neater, lower mileage bike, but both have sold in sizeable numbers so there's plenty of bikes to choose from, and there's no shortage of tidy curvies about.
