Anyone?

Either would seem okay to me, given the right setup. There is a weird point that is often missed with fish thinking. If we give them lots of places to hide, they feel more at ease and hide less!
Either of these will be moderate size when full grown, so a nice large space is called for to give them hiding. Got any access to some hollow log type wood or maybe slabs that can be leaned on rock to make a cover?
If this is your first trip into cichlids that are not so common, I really like a small fish called rainbow cichlids (herotilapia multispinosa) for their easy nature. They will likely be the mildest fish in the tank. I have kept breeding adults in tanks with guppies and neon tetras. Those two are often considered bait fish for larger cichlids!
A few rainbow, Ellioti, and clown loachs
