It actually depends on what your playing them in i.e. a Brass band or an orchestra. Most marching/brass bands use the tenor horn, baritone and euphonium as the mid octave voice. Orchestras use the french horn because of its smooth versatile tone and range.

The valve configuration between the French horn and the baritone is different. The baritone, Tuba, cornet, Trumpet etc all use the same valve/finger configuration. So really the decision is down to where you see yourself playing in the future. Remember most good brass players are able to switch between similar instruments (i.e. those with a similar size mouth piece ) easily
