It depends, what you enjoy most, and how much time you are able and willing to commit. Cash games are obviously way more flexible than tournaments, and they are also more simple in the sense, that the blinds never change, and you dont need to worry about payjumps or ICM. A dollar won or lost is a dollar won or lost, and thats all, there is to it.
On the other side stacks are deeper in cash games on average, which create more complex postflop situations, where you are going to see the turn and river with plenty of stack left behind. This can make coolers like running two pair into a set more expensive and painfull, but it also allows you to get involved in some more advanced play.
Cash game specialist Nathan Villiams recently said, he find tournaments a bit boring, and I understand, what he mean. Because honestly the interesting and complicated postflop spots in tournaments are few and far between. With stacks quickly getting down to 20-40BB or less, tournament play tend to be a lot more mechanical. Especially when you get deeper into the tournament, there is a lot of raise-and-take-it preflop and then an occational rejam.
If you prefer the tournament format but cant devote many hours to an MTT session, SnGs might be the solution. They are still tournaments but over in much less time, depending what exact format you choose. As for profit potential in my opinion its highest in MTTs. But for learning cash games and SnGs are better, because they are less complicated overall.

cash games vs tournaments
I think you should focus more on cash games because there is less variance in cash games. But it is okey, to play poker from time to tim.

In my opinion, cash games are less agressive than tournaments, because there is no reason to steal the blinds every time, at the coast that the blind is little for your stack. However I prefer tournament, I feel more lucrative playng cash games.

The main obvious advantage of cash games is the free schedule, as in general you will have more games postflop in cash games because, unlike tournaments, the blinds do not grow and the stacks do not push / fold. Therefore, if you want to work on your poker skills, then cash games will help you do it in its purest form.

I recommend that you play tournaments in the sit & go mode since in this mode the variance is less due to the limit of players, you can choose to play in tables and tournaments with only 9 players, 18 players, 27 players, 45 players, 90 players and 180 players up to 360 players in micro limits depending on which room you play if it is online poker.
In this sit & go mode, it will be a little easier for you to strengthen your bank and create more discipline in your game and your bankroll.

Cash games are good for gaining experience, they are more interesting in terms of gaining experience than a tournament. But the tournament player also has a lot of positive experience, and in tournaments there is a chance to win big money in relation to the bankroll.
I play mainly in tournaments as it doesn't need a big bankroll to get started. In cash games, you need a good theoretical basis for a stable small income, and in tournaments, luck and experience play a big role.
