I would definitely say Photoshop. You can do alot more with it and you can learn a lot of cool things to do with photos.

Adobe Illustrator is used more for flyers and newsletter and banners and such.

It depends on what type of design your going to do after and the software your going to do it with. Photoshop for drawing (bit-map based) and Indesign for more graphical layout work.

Based on you saying you are going to be creating more flyers and/or a newsletter, I would recommend taking a class in InDesign. InDesign specializes in page layout and is also industry standard software for creating any time of page layout document. This means any print piece (brochure, magazine, book, flyer, advertisement, banner, billboard, outdoor signs, etc.) Photoshop specializes in photo and image processing which only is good for altering the look of an image. Photoshop is used to alter images used in your InDesign documents. For instance, process photos in Photoshop first to get them how you want them to look, then you would import them into your flyer you are creating in InDesign. InDesign works very smoothly with Photoshop. I would learn InDesign first as it will take you above and beyond in your layout skills.

Probably InDesign if you are working in the Print field designing flyers and stuff like that. Learning layout is more important for you than catchy graphics.
