I think the choice is so unclear (either solution can work well) that you might want to let fate decide. In other words, what do you have currently in hand that you could use to get closer to your goal? If you have an old printer or piece of surplus equipment with adequate motors, start with that. With this you should have a power supply, motor driver, motor, sensors, wire, etc. It shouldn't matter if the motor is a stepper or servo. I have a pile of surplus I dig into regularly to test ideas that come to mind. I think getting EMC to control bits of a surplus printer would be a good project that should cost nearly nothing.
