I prefer more fair distribution of mined tokens among miners, my choice is then mining an ASIC resistence coin with GPU. This is a good protection against mining whales.
I chose general GPU rather than miner GPU or ASIC. is maybe more worth because you can use it as 3 or 4 functions.
1. You can mining (Of course)
2. Video Editing
Miner GPU is powerful to render 4K 60FPS video. I'm a video editor and that's why I choose it
3. Gaming
Well, If you have a good CPU and RAM that machine can be a powerful gaming machine
4. Help SETI to find Alien
Wanna help us to find true extraterrestrial creatures?. Share some of your GPU
5. Hashing a password
I like to help people to crack my friend's forgotten password, why you not help them too and got the money?
6. And many more way to get money with GPU other than mining...
I had a little secret. Last time, I try buy the ASIC priced $350. When the ASIC arrived in my country, the items are detained and I must pay $2000 postage+Tax. Very crazy, I rather to return it and lost $350 than pay $2000 for one ASIC

ASIC in the short term is very good because it gives a good Roi, but it requires a large amount of money and the GPU is suitable for a long period of time even though it doesn't give a big profit in a fast time
ASIC gives us short term ROI compared with GPU, GPU is a bit better than it consider it can be used to mine various crypto but remember we must think about the potentially of the difficulty change that happen anytime based on the how much new hashrate that being distributed to the network from the new mining rig. that will be a difficult choice but this time ASIC still very profitable and GPU needs long ROI.
well, that's what i meant. for now, ASIC is still good to use. but, we don't know the potential that is out there. it all depends on the circumstances. although I say that ASIC is better at doing minning, but we can't override the GPU. basically GPU is more flexible than ASIC, moreover GPU can be sold to gamers, so I think losses can also be reduced. it all depends on the comfort when doing minning. choose the ones that really make the risk become smaller, and have the potential to get big profits. 
I will also focus on GPU mining for one simple reason - the liquidity of video cards.
You can use them to mine a certain coin, then another.
If you get tired or fail, sell it to someone, like miner or gamer or elsewhere.
ASIC is a short-term investment, because after a while it will become in fact just a piece of garbage
Actually a nice overview between ASIC and GPU.I cant really deny that when it comes to resale concern,these GPU do really have itYou can use them to mine a certain coin, then another.

ASIC is a short-term investment, because after a while it will become in fact just a piece of garbage
even though resale isnt really that high but atleast you would able to get something in return with your investment with those cards.
Unlike on ASICs where once they arent profitable already and become outdated theres no one would recognized or consider on purchasing them.
I suggest you see the latest comparison about how much profit generated by GPU and ASIC.

Gpus actually have longer roi compared to Installing solar youself. With solar it's not useless after 3 years. Its good for 25+ years. My roi time on solar will be 4 years since I installed it myself
So one should really consider getting solar over GPU mining rig.
That's what I did to stay ahead of the game. GPU mining is oversatured and pretty much for losers as this phase in the market

My opinion is that it is better for GPU to buy for mining.
ASICS has a limited lifespan, new ones come out with a large hashrate and old models become illiquid.
Videocards are a more liquid and universal product and means of mining.
I agree with you. maybe ASIC is really very good at doing mining, and of course it can be faster than the GPU. but, in broad terms, I would choose GPU to do mining. but, if you just want to focus on mining, I think ASIC is the first choice.ASICS has a limited lifespan, new ones come out with a large hashrate and old models become illiquid.

The two have distinct characteristics and quite useful in their own way. ASIC is better in terms efficiency and better profits, but it does not support the mining of variety of coins but it will give you more profits than a GPU
I think it's not just me that loves GPU, my own reason for is that, GPU tends to be customizable, in the same way the algorithm can be switched efficiently. Also, when I get tired of it I can resale for a good price.
The only demerit, is that it is costly than its counterpart, but since you have the funds, you can give it a trial.

They are both unique in their own ways. Bear in mind that ASIC is loud and not as versatile as GPU but it gives faster ROI and profit. GPU in its own way is more versatile than ASIC as you can use it for mining of varrious coins
Mining with GPU does not generate much profits as ASIC does. If you are afraid of investing funds into mining of cryptocurrencies then you would not make much profits. Also, now that the crypto market is rising it would be best to set up some ASIC rigs and start your mining activities.
ASIC are good but the problem only support less coins unlike GPU mining that you can mine any coins you want and many different algos.
ASIC will give you profit in few months but since the difficulty increases and possibly price drop of some coins you won't get your ROI fast unless if the price is continuesly increasing.

First both are good choices, but since you have enough fund, I will suggest GPU mining as you can resale it for a good value should you not want it again unlike ASIC. Also, you can customize it to suit your taste as well as switching algorithm.
A lot of people are scared to buy ASICs, they are designed for one purpose and they lose value fast. At least gpus have a solid resale value and its much easier to find buyers if you have to liquidate quickly. I know some people think GPU mining is dead but as long as there are profits to be made people will continue on.
for now, it looks like ASIC is less attractive, but I think ASIC will be popular again when market prices recover. well, however, I will also choose GPU. although it's not as strong as ASIC, but I think it's like gold that we use to find other gold. well, as long as we take care of it, the GPU is still very much needed by people, so it's easier to sell it again.
