would you rather buy a private jet or an helicopter. They both would carry the same amount of people..about 8, They are both about 1.5 mil, The jet costs 3 times more to maintain but it travels 5 times faster than the helicopter, the helicopter can land anyway but the jet cant. the jet is more comfortable and is safer.
Overall which do you think is cooler.
would you rather be saying
omgosh we own an helicopter!
or Omoghs we own a private jet!\
would you rather travel somewhere and arrive via helicopter or jet.

Here is a list of private jets with complete descriptions, operating costs, annual budgets and performance characteristics. When looking to buy a private jet or Helicopter, consider a solution that covers 80% of your flights: http://www.jets.com/private_jets.aspx
You may also want to consider chartering prior to buying to get feel for what you will by flying in. Here is a link to a comparative chart of fractional ownership programs, jet cards and charter services: http://www.jets.com/Private_Jet_Membership.aspx

It would depend on your local market. By that I mean ---
You're not going to be using it everyday or every hour, but either a jet or an airplane will cost you plenty just sitting in a hangar.
The only way to recover your investment and pay the horrendous costs of these luxuries will be to rent and lease them out when you are not using them. My area has plenty of charter private jet companies, but development is big, and so is the need to check on the condition of powerlines, levy systems, agricultural lands and so on, something that helicopters do best. So I'd go for that one.

If you really had any money, you wouldn't be asking this question. The plane is the ONLY choice unless you only plan to travel in a large city. That is when a helicopter is best. If the price to maintain either, little alone the price to buy one of the other, is of ANY concern . . .. YOU CAN'T AFFORD EITHER!! When you have enough money to buy an airplane, you should have enough so that ancillary expenses are little more than an afterthought.
