When picking major advisors, is it best to pick an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor as your advisor?

I know that Assistant professors are new in the field (college) and very interested in showing what they know (since they want tenure). Associate professors are already on the tenure-track, and have a little more freedom to do whatever they want but can be quite isolated from students.
