I'd say using a pool is a good idea with any cryptocurrency mining. At least you have a steady income.

If you're trying to decide which coin to mine, well that's a little more complicated. It all depends on how much risk you are willing to take.

Variables affect the answer you are looking for.

Do you pay for electricity?
Do you believe LTC could go up in value soon compared the the value of BTC as of now, which is £8+ and seems to rise every month ?
Are you profitable mining currently?
Do you have to choose?
Do you know how to mine LTC already?
Do you have the equipment (most miners would already)?

I'd say stick with BTC for the meantime and then if you pick up any hashing power soon then i'd point that towards a litecoin pool maybe.
