I want to go with RNY. My logic is that if I get a sleeve and I don't lose enough I can't go back and get the bypass. If I lose too much from the bypass (I don't even know that is possible) I can modify my diet.
In terms of risk, although there is a difference, in the big picture the risks are about the same. My sister had the sleeve specifically to avoid dumping but for me, I see dumping as a plus as I have a horrible sweet tooth. Hopefully, it will motivate me to avoid those foods.

I was the total opposite. I walked into my consultation with my heart set on having the sleeve. My surgeon asked me one thing: "do you have acid reflux?" My answer: "yes. Not much though" and that was followed by "well VSG could make it worse."
Along with that, and the amount of weight I'd like to lose, I pretty much walked out of there with my mind changed to the bypass
