It would be most natural to gravitate towards one that’s setting and lore you are already most familiar with. Besides BT basically has bigger fan base and wider lore with plenty of eras to choose from than either of HG games because it’s much older system that started back in 80’s and is still going strong to this day with new material being published by Catalyst Game Labs including brand new starter box. Then again I know very little about HG’s lore and setting than just that there is North and South on one planet fighting over that planet and some times they make alliance to fight against Earth.

Another thing how ever is do you care about sculpts because HG systems do that better than BT but on other hand in BT miniatures aren’t main thing. You see some don’t seem to realize that with BT those record sheets are units so you can you what ever you want as proxies if you don’t have actual miniatures for those units and no one really cares because all you need to know about those units is on those record sheets. Then again some miniatures are useful if you are going to play ion terrain rather than on terrain hex board like normal.
