Neither. Read Niven, then Serre, then Weil.

Have you taken some algebra? If so Ireland & Rosen, otherwise Niven.

/sci/ is retarded and prefers to recommend the most "elite" and "prestigious" books (that they have never read) in order to look smart.
I can't directly comment on the two books you presented, but I can say I usually prefer historical treatments as a second read rather than an introduction.
