Greetings from Ft Hood, TX. I've been trolling your forums for a little while and thought I would put in my two cents.
Pick helos.
I can't speak for the Navy side of the house, but on the Army side we do more (i.e. Air Assault, MEDEVAC, troop movement, VIP stuff, fire fighting, rescue...), than the fixed wing pilots. Plus at 200 feet AGL the visibility is almost always good enough to fly and we can hover. The downside is unless you get the Airwolf transition you will never do Mach 1.2 and "fighter pilot" has way more appeal with the ladies than "chopper pilot".
