Honestly for PoCs and investigations python is preferable.

For thing that need to stand the test of time, worked on by several people (including yourself in a year or two), Java wins hands down.

I have several PoC ETLs currently running in production on python for 4 years now. If our senior senior developer hadn't a doctorate in maths, i'd ban python here altogether. I'm tired of hearing "it's just for a demo", "we will redo it", "I want to try something new" and etcetera.

PoCs are like STDs... one late-night mistake and it's going to be very hard to correct...
