Naya Blitz or Midrange?

Hey guys, So I'm trying to decide what kind of deck to work on next, and im having a hard time deciding between naya Blitz or naya midrange. Basically, I'm thinking about something like this: magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1100239 or something like this: magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1100239
I guess what I'm asking is, what would you do? What is more consistent? What will I win a FNM with? Why would you pick Blitz over midrange or vice versa?
Personally, I really enjoy the style of midrange, but half the fun is in winning. I want to make sure I pick something I enjoy, but i also want to win.
PS: I wouldn't be using those decks exactly. I would atleast change a little bit most likely.

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. So far midrange has the lead. Let's hear some more! Bybthe way, I'm open to suggestions on other midrange types as well.

Just so you know, you posted the same decklist twice.
I also support the midrange plan. There's also the Naya aggro-midrange deck that has been going around since Willy Edel made it popular at GP Guadalajara; this is an example.

Oh wow I didn't notice that I did that. Haha. This is what the second should have been: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-nayan-apocalypse/ it happens to be yours. Haha. I'll check out that one you linked now.

Midrange for sure. Aggro Midrange is just beastly right now; I run a selesnya aggro midrange and I love it; in my opinion the red would get in my way. :P But mid is the most reliable option right now, the most stable. Aggresive muliganing not required.

I'd say it depends on your meta, Naya Blitz kills a lot of decks consistently. If you have a predominantly slower meta with control decks (not midrange) and other aggro decks, Blitz might do better; if there's a lot of midrange like Jund, junk, etc., then midrange might be the best way to go.

So it sounds like I'm going to be doing the midrange. I'm happy about that, since I think midrange is more fun.

Midrange is more consistent. Blitz is a coin flip because you need to godhand to beat tempo and sweepers. Midrange has the sustainability and the tempo to hold its own past turn three.
