Cherrys is the better option because fish can cause stress on rock/wood/bamboo (ect) shrimp causing death.

Your fan shrimp will be vulnerable when it's moulting, so if there's anything big enough to try and bite him, make sure he has a good hiding space. Plus, all fan shrimp are best added to more established tanks. If either tank is under 6 months old, you might need to supplement his diet with targeted feeding, which can be troublesome. They also like to be able to sit in a current so they can sieve the water.

Just some things for you to think about.
If it's suitable, your cherry tank might be best suited.
