Either would be fine.

Mutt is better if you like regular expressions: you can search and limit the
displayed messages via regular expression matching, and there's also now a
script that enables you to use Notmuch with Mutt. I haven't tried it yet, but
it's on my list of possible enhancements.

In general, Mutt takes more work to configure than Alpine, but it's also a
more powerful tool.

You should also consider setting up Fetchmail or Offline Imap. Again, this is
all well documented on the Web.
