Which would you choose?

I've been thinking about getting either a Rat Terrier or a Toy Fox Terrier. I've done my research, both are very similar. I will probably do obedience, agility and/or flyball so keep that in mind. But, I can't decide which of these two breeds I like the best.

So which would you choose, and why?

Update:

I've considered Papillons as well. I'm going with the shorter coated dogs though. I had enough grooming to last me a lifetime with my wonderful, awsome Aussie that passed on a few years ago. I loved that dog like no other, but I am done with fluffy dogs lol!

Update 2:

And no way on a JRT. I've met more crazy JRT's than sane ones. Don't get me wrong, I have met a couple that were really great dogs, but most that I see ... INSANE doesn't even begin to cover it.

    Well *I* would choose neither. I have a Jack Russell Terrier and I love JRTs. They are my favorite small terrier. Also I love Papillions and they tend to beat my dog in competition so I am a fan of their intelligence and focus.

    Neither, get a Papillon. They are the most adorable, most obedient, most best at everything. They are also good jumpers. They are good at agility. I have one and he was the easiest dog to train in obedience and agility
