This is definitely the way to choose, especially if you don't have any attachment to Ruby or Sapphire. You can trade with for the others in the end, but for what you really want right away this is the best.
I didnt care for either of the legends (I buy a version depending on what legend i like more) so I went with the color I liked better. And since blue is my fav color I chose Alpha Sapphire
Version exclusive Pokemon, Team Aqua/Magma and Kyogre/Groudon are the way to choose as far as game differences go. Besides that, there legit arent any differences.
I went with Sapphire because I had the original on the GBA and I also like water, Team Aqua and Kyogre better.

Alpha Sapphire ! There's something about the closeness of Team Aqua that really hits you in the feelings. And I preferred most of the pokemon in there anyway.
