      Whichever you prefer, They both have their advantages. I think tenor is easier for the most part.

        Damn, I hate decisions! Play both, then get serious in a direction, then play both.

      Play both, it makes you more marketable. The more you have to offer, the better your chance of working. If this is just a hobby for you then I still say play both because it will teach you the subtle aspects of the saxophone and teach you to transpose a little faster. Tenor is more fun in certain situations but playing lead alto in a big band is one of my favorite things.
