Which of these would be the most useful to the Radio Amateur? Also when
deciding upon one or the other, what specs should one look for in
purchasing one for Ham radio applications, given basic needs for now
but with enough capabilities to handle more advanced Ham radio needs in
the future? Thank you for any help. B. Taylor

If you have to ask then you don't need either one.

It depends on what you want to do. I have several scops around the house
and don't use either of them very much. I have had access to a SA and have
used it very little.

Scopes are most useful at audio frequencies and the SA is good for RF
applications.
