What are your investment goals and at what stage in investing are you?
O is a blue chip, lower risk, likely slower growing REIT that will provide reliable dividend payments. If you are nearing retirement and need reliable income it is probably the safer choice.
OHI is a slightly higher credit risk and is in a potentially more volatile industry than O (Obamacare?) that provides the potential for higher dividend growth and capital gains. If you are in the accumulation stage and are looking for a chance at greater capital appreciation it may be the better choice.
Personally, I own both companies and am reinvesting dividends received. I like the stability of O as a core asset with an above average yield and like the higher growth rate of OHI. I have 20+ years to retirement and think in the long run both will give me decent returns.
