Default matsui waterbased or wilflex ink with fashion soft

what should i get i really want most of my designs to be really soft hand but also i wanna be able to get a mixing system to should i get the matsui 301 i heard it doesn't air dry that fast, or should i just get the wilflex for now with fashion soft.
cause my shop is kinda new so i can't afford to get a conveyor dryer hopefully soon like in a few months or so.

what are you oppinions on what i should do.

Not sure about Wilflex, but matsui recommends a conveyor, discourages the use of a flash and certainly not just air dry.

It depends on if you want to do some experimenting. obviously the easier way to go is with the wiflex but if you want to challenge your self a little go with the waterbased. one problem you may run into is the waterbased drying up in your screen, especially since you are using a flash dryer to cure. If you have someone working with you that can cure while you print it may help you alleviate that problem. you might want do a test run with a couple shirts to test out different drying times, and then wash them to see if they fade. obviously you will get the best results from a conveyor dryer but as long as you get you flash to the appropriate temp and time you should be fine.
