If I can, I’ll probably try to get the 1st Pfizer shot, because it has been tested and confirmed to block the infection itself, and to prevent transmission.
The J&J sets you up to handle the virus better, so you can still get it, and still transmit it to others.
So, assuming my insurance covers both, I’ll eventually do both. By July, we will be swimming in more vaccine doses than we know what to do with. We’ll have 210 million people-doses of the 3 vaccines, at current production speeds, by June 30th, and there are only 230 million people over age 16.

This will likely be my first version of vaccine to take, because it should end up being widely available (100 million doses by June 30th, with the increase in Pfizer and Moderna supplies, and the possible “one-dosing” of Pfizer, will provide more vaccines by the end of june than we have people over the age of 16 to take it, and some won’t.
I’ll probably circle back and get the Pfizer vaccine when it no longer has a waitlist, probably when it is one-shot. This J&J will protect me from getting sick enough to require hospitalization, and Pfizer will prevent me from catching and spreading COVID at all.

I ended up getting Pfizer because it became available for my cohort near the end of March.
I would still think about getting a J&J shot, because it works differently, and therefore would give a different coverage.
But first, I’ll be getting the booster, probably when it first becomes available to general use, assuming it is still free.
Pfizer has shown to be effective at blocking infection, and also preventing transmission even if you get the virus.
And it is still highly effective — if you have received both doses, you are more likely to die from a dog attack than from COVID. Heck, you are more likely to die from being stabbed with a sharp object, than to be hospitalized with COVID.
And there are no vaccines for dog attacks or pointy objects.
