Restarting Rdm or Brd

[ProFoolie]

After getting sick of my first server (the annoying people around my level, the disgusting overabundance of my class, the general lack of high leveled people who would group an english speaker) I've moved to a new server, and am debating whether to start a Red Mage or a Bard. it seems that all of my really great parties had one of these classes (go mana regen), but i can't decide on which. Any suggestions, expierences, preferences?

If you had 5 people and an equally leveled RDM and BRD LFP, which would you take? (Which at high levels?).. it seems like BRD for under 40, rdm for 40+, but maybe bard again later on? (when?)

Thanks in Advance

Below level 20, I'd pick the RDM - above level 20, any time, I'd pick a BRD (assuming the party already had another member specified to heal people. If not, the RDM would be needed just to be more efficient).

BRDs are the most sought after job in the game, from my experience - I get more party invites then I do when I play any other job, and more than my friends who play WHM (when I play BRD)

However. Bard is an advanced job you can only get at level 30 -- so why not play RDM until you get to level 30, and then switch and see which one you like best?

Good luck ^^
