I've always wanted to do a vintage set so I originally decided on 51. I like the cards and it's a fairly well known set. I'm at 71/324.
I got the idea for the 54 because I recently acquired the Ernie Banks RC. That set my mind going about the rest of the set to go with it Hand delivered via the Pony Express

Mike I am about where you are on the 1951 Bowman and love just buying a few cards to add to it.
I am down to six on the 1954 Topps and it has been great fun, the biggest difference is that you can pick up groups of the 1954 commons at a good price on eBay, the '51 Bowman's don't seem to be in real good shape when you find groups of 10 or more offered. Other than Banks, Aaron and Kaline the 1954 set will not break your bank account. With that said all the 1950's sets are great fun!

though of the same era, the two sets compliment each other fairly well...each having some key player that are not in the other.

While I admittedly don't know your budget, 54T seems more attainable. Easier to land Aaron and Kaline RCs than Mantle and Mays, I would think. Don't get me wrong though, 51 Bowman is a gorgeous set and that's my favorite Mick.
