There is nothing more fun than flying a helicopter! I'm about your age, and started flying last year... best decision of my life. I tried fixed-wing, but it was very boring and you really can't see as much from the cockpit of a Cessna. Sitting in the bubble of a helicopter if very liberating. In my opinion...

If it is for recreation (& some business) - helicopter.
If it is for travel (point A to B) - fixed wing.

Try both and see what you like best. Helicopters are definately more expensive, but you will discover why they are worth it.
