Coke or Pepsi, which is better?
Your choice should be based on which you prefer, not what someone else likes... after all, you're the one whose going to be standing for hours on end in front of a hot forge banging out swords... or helmets... or... well, you get the picture!
Now, the differences between them... Weaponsmiths make bladed and blunt metal weapons. And that's pretty much it. Mostly those weapons are used by warrior & scout classes and a few can be used by priests. Now, if you're a weaponsmith on my server, you can potentially sell me a pair of weapons for my ranger every 10 lvls and a mace or a maul for my warden every 10 lvls or so.
If you're an armorsmith on my server you can potentially sell me a full 7 piece set of armor for my ranger every 10 lvls or so and nothing for my warden since he can only wear leather.
So, numerically speaking, you could sell me more pieces as an armorsmith. Additionally, since I tend to buy non-rare early in the tier and then upgrade to rare later in the tier, you could be selling me even more. But that applies to weapons as well as armor so could be a wash.
But again, I don't think it should be a numbers game. Crafting in this game takes way too much time and effort to be done for any reason other than that you enjoy the process.
I maintain a tailor, a woodworker & a provie, and I sell insane amounts of goods for obscene amounts of money to people who don't want to make them. But I only spend all that time "down in the hole" because I enjoy crafting those things. Well, maybe not all of those things... I only made the provie because I hated paying for high quality food!!!
