MGPs last a lot longer for me at least, weigh a shit ton more though. And have a steeper headtube angle. also an inch or so longer.
RUPs work for any beginner, and if you start to love them they are only 60 bucks after they break. RUPs are easier to whip, harder to barspin, and pretty narrow.
Your choice really, I rocked Razors until I snapped my first one's dropouts from grinding them out from fs feebles.
