:I have both and I can say both are equaly fun :-], just different. As far as ease of care they are both similar, and both make great pets.

:Leopard Geckos require more heat (around 88 on the warm side) and Crested need to be kept cooler, in the high 70's on the warm side.
:Leos need more floor space while crested need more vertical space.
:Crested need more humitidy, and leos only a humid hide box
:Both eat insects but crested also eat fruits :-]
:Crested also need more "plants" and areas to hide in, while with leos you can use hide boxes.
:Both can be handled and both have great personalitys, also as far as "interaction" both are active (although leos can get lazy) and interesting to watch.

:If I where you I'd just get both :-]
