It is good to have both types of cymbals at your disposal as these type of cymbals help to color the music much like the way an artist uses red,green or yellow. Cymbals are a very personal thing,they help you express what you feel in a given musical situation.
So, having said that,choose the cymbal that best fits your playing style.
If i could only have one of the two choices,it will have to be a china,and a 16" one at that because i think that this is the more versatile size.
