As usual, it depends on the experience you want. I'm not very familiar with golden geckos but I know they're arboreal and my sense is that they aren't that easy to handle. African fat tails can easily be handled, are slow moving and terrestrial and tend to hide a lot. It may be helpful to google some care sheets for each and decide based on that.

I'm definitely not an expert an I am new to GU but my friend who does Herp rescue and rehab. says that the AFT are easier to handle and care for. He also says that if you are not experienced with either, then he would go with the AFT. I'm not familiar myself with their care personally, but both are beautiful when I looked at images of either. What ever you do decide please post photos and good luck!
