Yes for both I would actually get a male albino and a female pied if I was to go that route, the female Pied is more valuable as a breeder in the future.
You can probably also pick up a pair of Double Hets for $500 which will cut 18 months to 3 years out of that project, knowing that if you buy a Pied and an Albino you are looking at 3 to 6 years before producing your own Albino Pied.
