Although vanes are "doable" go with the feathers. Getting vanes to shoot right can be extremely difficult, and no guarantee that you'll even get them right. Not a good space to be in if you're just starting out. Vanes can be good if you know you're going to be shooting in the rain, so you may want to look into them, but save it for later when you're a good solid shooter and have experience in setting up and tuning your equipment.
