For your first rifle, neither. Go to your local gun shop and see what they have and then go to your nearest other gun shop, dicks sporting goods, or gander mountain and see what they've got. Gunbroker.com is also a great place to look. The thing about those rifles and most "starter" rifles in the same price range is they're light, cheaply made, and with bad optics if you get them in a package. My first big game rifle was a savage 270 youth model with a black synthetic stock. I couldn't hit a darn think with it because it kicked me so darn hard. I traded it off for a NEF Handi-rifle in 243win and haven't looked back. I've got a ruger 270 now but single shot was a great teacher of bullet placement and depending on the 1 shot. I'd recommend something like that or you can usually find a nice older 30-06 or 270 at your local gun or pawn shop. Get something that feels and looks solid and it more than likely won't let you down.
