Do AC. I went to FWA this year and was not impressed. Sure the hotel was nice but it was massive and it seemed like everyone was caked together in a giant space. I found myself wandering around bored in fursuit several times. Also there were a few crime issues or so I heard. I do know one fur's SUV and trailer was stolen. There are several homeless people that constantly ask you for money on the streets, one of them last year called me a racist because I wouldn't help him out. FWA was great when it was at the Sheraton but that was a few years ago.
Do AC, it is massive yes but you run into so many people you will always keep busy. The dealers den is massive and you could spend hours in there. The city in general loves us and makes us feel very warm and welcome.
Which of them have you been to less? If you've never been to either, better do the Furry Hajj to AC. (Every Furry who can, has to go to Pittsburgh at least once in their lives, you know.)
