This is really a personal thing. A squirrel monkey mom would say go for the squirrel and a cap mom would say go for the cap. You need to look up both breeds and decide whats best for you and your family.


I have capuchins and i wouldn't trade them for the world. BUT its lots of work with any primate and YES a companion would be a good thing. With either breed.
