    Totally depends on if you want to be complex or simple

    Explanation:

    IF you want to be complex go the eukaryote route because they have many complex processes, complex ways of packaging DNA with hundreds and hundreds of proteins, many more proteins for multiple processes, more organelles such as a nucleus, need more for survival etc.

    IF you want to be simple go the prokaryote route they are simple organisms with basic lifestyle, do not have as much organelles because they do not need a lot resources for survival, their DNA is "floating" usually in a region called nucleiod region: area within a prokaryotic cell where the genetic material is to be found. It isn't a "true" nucleus but gets the job done for them. Less organelles are present.

    Also prokaryotes have pretty cool mechanisms for protein sysnthesis where you can transcribe the DNA (copy the codes of DNA into mRNA) and simultanelously convert the translated mRNA into a functional protein which eukaryotes cannot do (eukaryotes have to go through each stage completely whereas here prokaryotes can start multiple processes at same time)

    So answer totally depends on what route you choose.

    Eukaryote because I have a nucleus that contains my DNA and unlike Prokaryotes don't have a nucleus and have there DNA floating all about
