If you had to choose right now which one and why!? I'm sure both are mandatory but the sine looks handy

both will hold work just fine, the sine vise allows for angular milling- but some makes of sine vises, you can't lay on its side
the sine vise is generally taller than its toolmaker counterpart, this a consideration for smaller mills that don't have a lot of headspace

Excellent point about laying on its side. I know at some point I'll buy both. Thinking sine first as I've yet to find a use for a tool makers for the operations I'm doing. Everything I do is accomplished in the vise, angle block or the rotary table

The toolmakers vise is probably more rigid than the sine vise, but is less versatile. Part of this depends on size as well. Smaller toolmaker and sine vises can be fit in a larger vise, allowing angles, including compound angles, to be set during clamping the smaller vise in the larger one -- for smaller parts.
