Personally, I usually think about original games rather than fangames, because I lose interest in fangames very quickly or ask, "why am I not just making this original?" in the middle of it. However, I'm also capable of making decent sprites. Coming up with an original idea can be a great way to gain some spriting experience in a focused way and to learn things you might not have done otherwise (e.g. tiles, portraits, etc.), but if you're not used to producing sprites in large numbers, you shouldn't expect to finish. I'm usually okay with expecting not to finish.
If you're really set on making a game, don't have much spriting experience, and/or are able to keep interest in a fangame, you might want to try a fangame. If you are efficient at making acceptable sprites quickly, want to practice your creative skills, and/or don't mind whether or not you have a finished game at the end of it, you might want to stick with something original.
