IPhone or iPad? Which is better?

I'm 18 years old and my parents for my birthday asked if I want an iPhone for 2 years OR an iPad. I'm not sure what to get. What would you say?

I always wanted an iPad for the bigger display, but I can't pass the opportunity for my first smartphone.

Ipad sucks buy iphone

They have all the same apps and iPhone is mobile, so iPHONE!

Well since those are 2 different things, a smartphone and a tablet, it depends on which one you want more or think you would get better use out of in the long run.
