Which Would You See?

I've got two different ideas for screenplays swirling around in my head right now. I don't know which one I want to actually commit energy to. Help me decide.
My writing in general is sex positive and usually includes queer characters, and I'm not shy about making them the main characters instead of red shirts and 20-seconds-of-screen-time throwaways. I also assume a certain level of genre savvy for ALL my characters, because more than likely, they've seen a movie or read a book of the same genre they're in before, y'know? I tend to straddle the line between drama and comedy.
Idea 1: A girl from a long line of evangelical righteous Irish Catholic vampire hunters falls in love with a vampire, and is prophesied to bring an end to the persecution of vampires by religious extremist hunters.
Idea 2: In the distant future, a team consisting of both scientists and military personnel explore distant unknown space and land on a planet with an Earth-like atmosphere with multiple intelligent alien species, some hostile and some potentially friendly, some primitive and others advanced. There are spaceships, robots, and advanced AI. Also there are some nasty alien diseases. And in turn, some Earth diseases ravage the locals on the planet.
