I would choose Rust because it has much better developer ergonomics than C. Even the little things like having a standard linter and package manager (Cargo) go a long way in writing idiomatic code. You can't go wrong with either choice, so choose the one that makes you most productive.

This is an underrated advantage of Rust. And, I can expect code to compile (or compile + flash for embedded) by running `cargo run` on Linux or Windows, vice expecting a dependency mess with the C toolchains I've encountered.
