It's your choice. Still I feel H-1 is better if you want to stay here, but if you have decided to go back it does not matter, some say it is easier to get fellowship on J-1.

if u take
j1 .....better chances of getting in to fellowships, but then waiver has to be done if u change ur mind in the future
h1 - more stable visa...u can keep ur options open...but tougher for univs to sponsor h1 for fellowships although......not impossible........
good luck
