I did run both RTTY and PSK31 last year for K8CY on Field Day.

Because what little I've seen by Google searching indicates that there were a lot more stations doing PSK than RTTY, and that disparity is growing with each year. If that's accurate, choosing RTTY over PSK isn't necessarily a sound strategy if your goal is to make more digital QSOs. The best strategy is likely what AC0C said:  Plan to operate both.
