We've done one of each. The young cat was ~6 months old, and we knew exactly what we were getting with her. She really hasn't changed much, except to get bigger and older, and I like predictable. The 8-week kitten looked so calm and even-tempered in his cage, and has turned out to be hell on paws! The one advantage to the kitten is that we had the opportunity to shape his behavior and tolerance for being handled more so than we did with the young cat. She (the young cat), to this day, is aloof and all about human contact on her terms, which makes grooming and vetting interesting.
IMO, there's few pros or cons to one or the other, so do what V says....
