Both are inexpensive (and if on a really tight budget, can almost certainly be found second hand), why not try both? From my perspective pour-overs always taste a little “brighter” or more tart/acidic, while French press tends to taste stronger or more coffee-e, if that makes any sense. That said my favorite method is still an old fashioned percolator, so maybe I have odd tastes.
