No pros or cons really...just a slightly different look.
Well I would go with occelaris because I like the look a tad more and because there is a slightly larger chance that they are tank raised...
Just whichever you want
Don't get one of each...that's not a very good idea.

If they are tank raised then neither are more likely to host. In fact they prolly won't although it does happen occasionally. The wild caught ones are the ones that host anemones more readily and their favorite kinds are carpet anemones but those are a little too big for your tank honestly. They will also host bubble tips sometimes. They are both about the same size and they have about the same temperment. They are the most docile of the clowns. The occelaris have a thin black line while the perculas have a thick one. They are really almost the same kind of fish TBH. They just happen to be a different breed. Kind of like two different breeds of dogs who act and look similar. The biggest ones I have ever seen were prolly 7 inches but that is enormous for those breeds of clowns. In your tank they will prolly stay around 4-5 inches at full grown.

Ocellaris tend to be a little less aggressive and are usually a little more vibrantly colored. The female will get bigger than the male. My female is 3-1/2 inches and my male is about 2. It is really like red apples or green apples just depends which you like more.
