roaches are better. They have more meat to them, and are more nutritious than crickets. They don't stink, they don't chirp, they don't have a high mortality rate like crickets do. If you are content with just buying food, crickets are fine, but if you plan to keep them in your house, you might want to spare some sanity, and go with roaches. It may sound gross, but there are several species of roaches that do great in feeder colonies, and won't infest your house if they get loose.
