both suck. Near term you aren't mining deposits. Near term you get everything from dirt. Magma electrolysis is a pretty good way to do this. Although having water is pretty nice for doing hydrogen reduction.

Serious tier: 1 km single aperture space telescope. Jovian system nuclear space battleship.
Meme tier: Europa Clipper direct to Jupiter. Enceladus geyser cave explorer. The last needs an orbiter first, as space geysers could be VERY weird. We don't understand what the hell's going on when a stream of water exits into the vacuum for hundreds to thousands of years. The flow is probably supersonic too...
