I use both film and digital. Film has the advantage of finer grain and the choice of films for specific purposes. Digital has the advantage of the digital darkroom possibilities and the ease of taking multiple photographs from which to choose. If you are planing to get close to your subject, a reasonable number of pixels is fine. If you plan to stand a distance from your subject, get as many pixels as you can afford.
If you're near Totonto, there is a photographic supply store named Vistex. They sell both new and used equipment and have the best trained and patient sales staff I have ever encountered. They seem to like answering questions such as yours. Good luck and have fun with whatever you buy.
