What do you find more interesting?

I'd still go with the "Africans" for the same reason. You will have more color and more activity.

Now, once the convicts rear their first brood, you will get some regular colored babies too, things will get a interesting because those babies will breed too.

DOn't the convict cichlids take care of their young and mouth brood? If, so I would choose the convict cichlids with fry. That would be so interesting to observe!

THough the dwarf cichlids are also very pretty. I would go with the former just because it is quite novel.

they are not mouth brooders
