I think a lot of breeders do both, maybe start with het axanthics and a couple years down the road buy a couple visual pieds as a separate project and expand as you invest a bit more. Once you have babies to sell you can use that money to reinvest in additional morphs. I think most breeders use hets when they are just starting out or later on down the road to try to make some worlds first combos. I have a lot of ideas to make some new stuff, especially some new Axanthic stuff. I'm planning on buying just one visual female to get started and can make all my own hets from there, lots of projects would take 6-10 years but I'm in no hurry LOL.
