Personal debate on which branch to go into(Army/Marines). Need experienced opinions, mainly spec-ops or grunt.?

Hello to all who reads this.I'm seventeen years old and have been debating for years which branch to go into after high school. My main interest is Special Operations(CCT, Seals, Rangers, etc.) but I've narrowed it down to either Army or Marine Corp. The reason I'm not considering CCT or SEALS in this is because those both require 20/20 vision, which I lack, and get lasik is a long drawn out of choosing another mos, where I can wear glasses, and then once I get to my permanent duty station request lasik where once my vision is squared away I can go and request to go to my ideal profession. The drawbacks to that is I'm stuck doing a job I didn't intent on doing and there is only a chance that lasik will be granted, or I get deployed and never really get the chance to put in an application. The other option is to scrounge up the money to get the money to buy lasik myself (which could take months if not years), get the surgery, and then wait another 6 months or a year for the military to say I'm healed enough and then I could try-out. I lack the patience to want to go either of those routes so I look to the Army and the Marine Corp to satisfy my needs. In the Marine Corp I'm currently looking at the mos of 0321(Reconnaissance Man). I'm aware that one can't get that mos at the beginning and that I would have to choose another in case I fail. If my local Marine didn't lie to me to go recon the dudes that look for applicants go to SOI(School of Infantry) and they ask "Anyone want to try-out for recon." If you say yes they out you into recon indoc where if you pass they take you out of SOI and put you into the Recon pipeline. I'm aware BRC(basic reconnaissance course) is one big suck-fest, and again I'm going off of what my recruiter told me, it's basically BUD/S(basic underwater demolition training) except of wearing a wet-suit you wear combat gear and carry a ruck. On the Army side of things I was considering trying to go Ranger. I understand that Ranger School is a combat leadership school and won't make you a member of the 75th ranger regiment. If my research is correct to go 75th I need to get an Option 40 in my contract, I was also thinking of mos 11B(Infantryman), 13F(Fire Support Specialist), or 68W(Combat Medic). If my understanding is correct RASP (ranger assessment and selection program) is again one big suck-fest, but I can't seem to find any memoirs or actual testimonies of what actually happens during RASP. To be a Ranger is more of a challenge than it is to become one if research is right. My Army recruiter didn't know jack-**** about Rangers and assumed I didn't either so If you have info on that let me know. Now for the debate, the famous question. Army vs. Marines. I seriously don't care about anyone's personal bias and any comments like "Army is for ******* go Marines" and vise versa is irrelevant and unwanted. I'm looking for a challenge, adventure, and self-reliance in the wild and I'm aware both branches can provide. My real concern is which gets more time out in the field. The last thing I want is to be stuck in garrison while the other guy is kicking-doors and doing his job. The other concern is if I wish to make a career out of this is the levels of advancement. With Army there is Special Forces and Delta and I'm aware Marines have Force Recon and MARSOC. If anyone has any good info on that it would be appreciated. My Marine recruiter told me MARSOC is force recon ecxept under SOCOM command and there what he called "long-haired marines." My true want from the comments below is the personal experience of someone who's been through one of these things, or both even better. First-Account info is what I seek. Thank you for even reading this, I apologize for the length of this.
