You can't go wrong with either one of them, but honestly I chose SMN over BLM because the changes to SMN felt more fun and gave them something to do when aetherflow was spent...

...while the changes to BLM wanted me to juggle a timer just to cast the next tier of elemental spells which is about as far the opposite of fun that I could think of: complexity for the sake of complexity.
