EQC will likely be available on more exchanges, but in my honest opinion, while ETH does have cool stuff, the NEM blockchain is easier for business to work with. XEM is also pretty down in price right now, and a good long hold, so you could acquire a lot more XEM to purchase XQC.
That said, of course we also welcome you to buy EQC! This is just a suggestion, since you are starting out.
