Which of these would perform better in the current modern setting?

I've been getting into the Modern format a lot recently and I'm looking to get a nice deck made to play with. I've decided to either go with R/G Tron or a reanimator using Goryo's Vengeance /Through the Breach . I was hoping to get the communities opinion on which of these would be the best to get first (I'm eventually getting both) to use for modern events. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
R/G Tron list: R/G Tron Ramp
R/B/U Reanimator: The Big Bang Attack!

It wasn't a question on whether or not there are better decks out there. I know there are, but I prefer these decks.

alpinefroggy has a legitimate response. If you're planning to play these at competitive Modern events, neither of them will be very successful - unless you don't mind losing almost every game. That may sound harsh, but Modern is a very competitive format. Realistically, I think advising someone away from spending money on a deck that will hardly ever win is the right thing to do.
If you just want to play casual Modern, then pick the one you would enjoy playing the most.

Please read the forum descriptions carefully before posting. Moved to Deck Help.

Go for R/G Tron as it has seen more top 8's then the other deck as of late (if we are talking about competitive modern). :3

Probably the Tron list for a couple of reasons.. One; as already stated, it IS an established tier-1 deck.. And two; the glass cannon deck is well... a glass cannon. Sure it's powerful, but a bad draw means death..
Sure, a single Stony Silence would ruin Tron, but there's a whole lot of graveyard hate out there as well.. Turn-1 win? Two words: Surgical Extraction Jus' sayin'..

Have you thought about switching the colors in your Tron deck? The reason for playing red is for Pyroclasm , but that doesn't do enough anymore since Wild Nacatl was unbanned. It helps a lot vs. Affinity still, but that's about it. Switching out the Pyroclasm s for All Is Dust , Sundering Titan , or mainboard Spellskite is much stronger in this current Splinter Twin -heavy meta, IMO.

Neither of the two decks is something that is particulalry good right now. They both are decent choices but there are better decks for the money that would just be better.
