Which is better 4wheeler/jeeps

I know I know this isn't directly Mopar, and certainly not Abody, but you guys are my home, don't want to join some new strange forum. Surely there are guys and gals here with some knowledge about the subject.
I am looking at building a "get me damn near anywhere vehicle." My options are limited by circumstances to 1of 2 vehicles. I'm not interested in the vehicle you say I should get, other than these two, because you think it is "more gooder." My options are the small Jeep Cherokee, or the Grand Cherokee from the same era. Neither will be stock, so I am looking for your experiences based on aftermarket support, durability, chassis design etc. thank you for your time and now let's sit back with our popcorn and watch the $h!t sandwich.
