It depends what you are looking for. If you want something that is fun to watch and doesn't really like to be held much then a gerbil might be a better option. If you want something that you can hold and play with for long periods of time but doesn't do much all day then you might want a hamster. I have three gerbils. So if you have any more questions please ask me on my message board.
Yea the guy before wrote this and I have two gerbils and I had one hamster, the one hamster I had was mean as ever and it would bite me the second I tried to catch it and my two gerbils NEVER bite me (it says in almost all pet books that Gerbils RARELY bite) and to me gerbils seem much more intelligent than a hamster, I mean my last hamster would lay on its back at times and soil itself when my gerbils are very clean and there always cleaning themselves, so personally I'd go with the gerbil because the gerbil's seem as smart as my golden retriever dog as the hamster... well not so much
