I like the spotted ones. Mine is kinda hard to find alot of times in the tank but me and my kids have a little game of "Where's Spot" every morning.
I have not had my tank set up for a year yet but there are things other than a fuge you can do too. I have some piles of LR rubble hidden behind some rocks. I also put in a couple of LR tubes I made with some mesh and very small rubble pieces also hidden out of sight. They seem to work good cause Spot is one fat fish and I can see pods of all sizes day and night.
With a Mandrin you might want to carefully select other fish in the tank though too. My mandrin hunts very slow and alot of other fish will eat the same pods. Which will inderectly starve a mandrin.
As for which one to get well flip a coin both are awesome.
