pick only one, and if so inclined, why?
(kind of a follow-up on my last Q)

IBM is the better value. Apple is too expensive to be considered a sound investment, although I do admit I admire the company's innovations. One misstep though and the bottom will fall out of the stock.

I don't like either of them. But I really don't like Apple. There is so much positive investor sentiment out there for Apple, that I think the stock has reached a top. Apple is one of the most widely held stocks at top10traders.com. See the link below:

The stock has an enormous market cap and a big PE. I don't think the iphone will be a bigger winner for the company. And I am really turned off by the options backdating that Jobs and company took part in.
If you want an interesting tech company, take a look at Cisco or Level 3, LVLT.

Apple has a VERY high P/E, it's over 40. I would stay away. I think the Apple stock will be flat over the next 24 months (with many bumps along the way.
If I had to pick one, I would go IBM. They have really improved their business and their services.

Neither. The basic rule of investing is "buy low, sell high," and both Apple and IBM are relatively high right now. Look for another hi-tech stock; there are many to choose from.

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/e3f14

IBM is a loser. Buy Apple but not right now. It has been bid up.
