I'd pick Avro out of the two - it is very well designed for typed data and has a very good implementation of the serializer/deserializer, aside of the schema advantages. FWIW, Avro has a tojson CLI tool to dump Avro binary format out as JSON structures, which would be of help if you seek readability and/or integration with apps/systems that already depend on JSON.
