Im aerodrome so I obviously favour that. However:
If you have genuine interest in aviation/aircraft, and I don't mean a spotter then go aerodrome! As someone else stated you get far more opportunity to move around. From personal experience I think the buzz of working at a large international airport beats driving into a council estate everyday. As does watching the sun come up at 5am from the tower.
Seriously, both are amazing and most people would not change what they do whether it was their first choice or not. It's all down to you.
Also, another point that may sway you, coming from the college on the pittance that trainees are paid now, you will be on big money within a year, (most likely a lot less) if you go aerodrome. Some area trainees I knew waited over a year and a half just to start training! Good luck
