Hi! Wanna strat playing, should I choose AFK arena or AFK journey?

Visually I like Arena more, but I am a little bit confused by Classic and Companion modes

Also, there are hundreds of servers and I saw people complaning abour Journey saying that servers are dying

So, please recommend me where to start and invest my time and money

I'm interested in endgame and game being stable for years

Thank you!
