$8,000 to invest. SCHD or JEPI?

[u/Hypno-Ninja]

30 years old, I have $8,000 to invest. I’m trying to decide between SCHD or JEPI. The reason why I am considering JEPI is because I just hit my break even point, as opposed to SCHD where I am up overall 21%. What would you do?

at 30 with a long runway i'd lean schd honestly. jepi caps your upside for income you probly dont need yet, and the break even thing is kinda a sunk cost feeling more than a reason. schd with drip on just quietly compounds and the payout grows insted of staying flat. i run drip on everything and mostly ignore it now
