Well in Basic you can fly whatever you want really. Once you move up then you have to worry about your plane choice. Either will work.
However if you are looking for a good plane for similar pricing I would look into a WildHare Extra or possibly a PAU Extra (They are on sale right now)

Both are better flying planes and not that much more money....
