Vampires always have a flight home, no need to look for a broom.
And once Amazon starts selling dehydrated blood, you’d never have to leave the house. Maybe meh could even get just-about-to-expire blood from the Red Cross.
And think of what Casemates could do…
I’m seeing a serious business opportunity here.
Vampire. The extended lifespan would be a huge relief (and you always know you can end it any time). And is there anything biologically inherent to being able to do witchcraft? Probably you can master that if you want.
So what would happen if a vampire got bitten by a Lonestar tick, and developed alpha-gal syndrome? (It sounds like a kind of female dominatrix thing, but it’s actually “an allergy to red meat and other products made by mammals.”)

Charlaine Harris vampire: At worst, just buy more TrueBlood
Charlie Stross vampire: Not notice. The V-parasites would dispense with the issue - and probably eat the tick.
Other classical vampires: Generally, unlikely to be able to be impacted by a tick bite; blame “professional courtesy” if you wish, like lawyers and sharks.
Vampires, even clever ones, end up chained to a stake facing the sunrise sooner or later. A clever witch never need be outed at all.

It depends on what mythos you’re working from but in general I believe witches are less commonly obligated to consume people
Witches exist. I know many of them
Edited because stupid voice Rec spelled which not witch
Witches because they’re powerful, and not controlled by an insatiable incurable addiction. Also I like sunlight.

Witch
it’s so much more fun. 
I’m going to go with being a vampire. I’m already nocturnal and wish I could fly. I have spent most of life anemic, so there’s that too.
Witch.
Spells and potions, broom-riding, plenty of cats, kids for snacks…it’s pretty much a no-brainer.

What kind of witch? I mean, it’s a lot more pleasant to be like Hermione Granger than to be some nasty hag hunted by pitchfork-wielding commoners.

@mediocrebot I don’t think you understood what I was trying for.

Chicks dig vampires
I’ve been accused of being a vampire because I keep such late hours. I’m not into that blood sucking thing though.

But I’d probably take up the cello first.
