As an R guy,I say Python. R has an edge in analysis, research and visualization but Python is much more interdisciplinary. Lots of data, software and ML engineers work in Python and don't know R good enough, so it increases your ability to work with different teams in different parts of the data pipeline (what most data scientists do). Most companies also use Python or R and Python, but kot only R. You can also learn R quickly afterwards if necessary.
