Let me be honest with you, you don't need either. Don't need to scrape for expired web 2.0s. They're a lot more work than they are worth.
Spend your budget on hosting and a domain at Namecheap. Cost about $50 max for both. Shop for a keyword service in the market place. Write for those keywords and that niche. Bust your butt off doing manual outreach for links & guest posts.
Once you have a big enough budget, build a quality PBN with auction domains. For just a few hundreds a month to start off, it's worth it. Best way to jumpstart on this is with a 2nd job if the 1st isn't enough.
Most important of all, read the stickies i n both the black hat forum and the white hat forum. It seems like you're reading some really outdated information.
