What is it you are raising these chicks for? Meat? Eggs? Pets?
I raise 'em for eggs and buy Golden Comets.
When we first started, the birds were as much an attraction for the grandchildren as a food source so I bought whatever was cheapest and a couple of Polish and a pair of ducks (Cheese and Quackers)
We wound up with different sizes of eggs as well as different colors and shades. But when the kids grew up, we went back to Golden Comets and nice large brown eggs. Fourteen hens and one rooster are providing abut three dozen eggs a week.
Pets and Eggs really!
 
I voted for the ones that lay green eggs because they are different. Really though I wouldn't purchase either one of them. I prefer a non-hybrid, clean footed chicken that is a good egg producer, friendly, gentle and a great free-range forager.
