Choosing between a bodhisattva and an arhat depends on your spiritual goals. A bodhisattva embodies the ideal of compassion, vowing to help all beings achieve enlightenment before entering Nirvana themselves, emphasizing altruism and interconnectedness. In contrast, an arhat seeks personal enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of rebirth, focusing on individual attainment. If your aim is to cultivate compassion and support others on their spiritual paths, you might lean towards the bodhisattva ideal.
Since the 17th century the Dalai Lama (a position held by successive heads of the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism) has been revered as an incarnation of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezi in Tibetan), the Bodhisattva of Compassion. A bodhisattva is someone who strives for enlightenment (buddhahood) but renounces his or her own complete enlightenment until all other beings attain it, by transferring the merit of his own actions to other beings. Even though 'technically' a bodhisattva has vowed to postpone his own buddhahood, there is really little to distinguish Chenrezi as a bodhisattva from a full-fledged buddha, so I would say yes, the Dalai Lama is regarded as a living buddha.
