I own both a full node and a pruned one on different machines. I'd say go for the full node, if needed save a bit of extra money for the 1TB SSD, that should keep you running for a few years worth of blocks.
My experience is that the downsides of a pruned node (IE: not being able to check for transactions previous to a certain date) are not worth it. For example, I was offering my friends to connect to my node if they needed to check transactions, but that won't worked on the pruned one. Same for my wallets if somehow I skip the pruned blocks.
