Default First Real Tank-Iwagumi or dutch?

Hello everyone!
This christmas, I am going to be getting an ADA setup
Until this point, my "scapes" have been a hodge podge of rocks and plants. None with any real planning. I will be getting an ADA Mini-S, and the famed 27 watt homedepot light, pressurized Co2, an Aquasoil for substrate.

For my first serious scape, I cant decide wether or not to try an iguwami scape, or a dutch scape with driftwood, and alot of stem plants. At this point in time, I am leaning towards iguwami, but am afraid I will eventually get bored with it . But am also afraid i wont be able to pull off a good dutch tank.

With my lack of experience, and the equipment I will be getting, what do you suggest? Also, what are the pro's and con's of each?

Both are good and it is all depending on what you like not your skills. If you skills are not good enough than it is a good time and chance to work on. I have to say with Mini S you are not going to do achieve well on the dutch style as it is too small which dutch style are best in a bigger tank like 60P.
