Cayuga or welsh?

im going to get 2 females and a male but I can't decide of which breed?!! Help please! Give me your recommendations and why I should pick that breed!

If I could only pick one, I'd go WH since they are critically endangered, plus they have a higher egg output. That said, Cayugas are my favorite but it depends on what needs you have

Both, about a dozen of each!!

I picked both breeds because they are endangered, Welsh are critically endangered. I have no plans on eating the birds, however the eggs are delicious!
Cayuga are one of the few native American birds, and I've actually been camping at Lake Cayuga in the Fingerlakes region of NY in my youth.
Both are said to be calm. Both will pick a spot in the shade for an afternoon siesta from the Florida sun.
Both lay plenty of eggs, but the Welsh lay more than the Cayuga. I'm also surprised at how such a big egg comes out of a relatively small Welsh duck.
