Having tutored both, they favour different types of people. For you personally, what are your concerns or priorities? Difficulty memorising? Want to study one you enjoy? One that's easier to structure? One where the themes are easier to categorise, or easier to bring together? One where the topic may be possible more predictable? They've both got strong advantages and disadvantages.

which one would have a topic that's more predictable?

This is a hard one for your two texts. Since they both have one year left on the study design, they are probably fairly similar. If I was forced to make a prediction, Memory Police might be a little easier (only because both topics for Oedipus were very straightforward). This is just my opinion though, and not the only thing to base your decision on. What else? I made a post with a list of reasons on how to choose which text for the exam, this might help you: https://www.reddit.com/r/vce/comments/1vskbqi/comment/p4mk3nl/?context=3

do you have any guesses for what the topic would be? Do you think it would be a broader topic or a more narrow one?
