One of each ;D  
Bearing tops seem to be easier for beginners, but they can be kind of a pain to maintain.  
Fixed tops can be frustrating because there is so little time to pull of a trick (at first), but the fundamentals will take you far, grasshopper.  
So yeah, both ;D

I guess the Gladiator because of the metal tip - more durable. I’m still partial to the Rip Cord though, I learned a lot of stuff on it.
