it's your choice if you want to pay more and mine with nvidia or pay less and mine with amd, amd is good on ETH + dual mining and nvidia on lbry and zec, both are the same

Im pretty new too but im mining on nicehash with 3 amd rx 480, the consensus seems to be amd is more commonly utilized by software developers, where nvidia is slightly more profitable but not necessarily worth paying extra for the card when an amd card will mine almost as fast for less money and less hassle to set up in the mining software. the rx 480 with the most ram and core speed will be the most profitable, i have a strix gaming 480 8gb and and runs wonderfully, i can even still play league of legends while i mine.

I think Nvidia now is way better than amd 4-5 months later, the gtx 1070 is very good on Zcash, I think it gets about 400-450 sols which is a pretty good hashrate.
