It really depends on two things. What morph do you like better, and how much money do you have to spend. Assuming you have about $1K to spend, which is what a 100% het pair of albinos will cost or a male pastel, buy which morph you like. If you buy what you think will make you the most money, you will likely be dissapointed. What if you love albinos and buy a pastel male and normal females instead, because you think they will be the most profitable, and your Pastel male does not produce the first 3 years you have him. Will you say, I should have gotten the albino hets, or will you be happy you have a pastel to look at every day? Buy what you like, and keep your projects concise. A het pair will eat far less than a pastel male and 6 females, less room etc. A pastel, you will have a morph, and no sweating it out thinking in the back of you mind "What if these albino hets are just normals?" My opinion, buy the pastel, and one or two females, and if you have the money, buy a het albino female too. Wait until next year, and get a het albino male, they are very inexpensive, and you do not need a het albino male right away!
