I think a better comparison would be the Hypo to the Pastel. The looks are similar, at least moreso than between an albino and a pastel, and I believe they've been around about as long. The pastels, however, have held there value much better when comparing a super pastel to a hypo.

Anyway, I don't think you can just use a blanket statement that "recessive is a better investment". I think it comes down to the individual morph, what is the demand, what can they be combined with that will be in high demand, etc. All of those factors come into play (including codom vs. recessive vs. dom) when talking about holding value.
