Would a Salon or an Orphanage be more desired?

I'm in the late stages of preparing to found a Salon; I'm preparing to seek a certain Tomb so I can enter the University on my own terms to gain a few connections, but otherwise we're all set.
In terms of profession, I've decided on the Midnighter path for now, so performing at Salons is out, pending a major RP change. That said, I don't have any preference between Salon/Orphanage, besides that the former is the better producer of Waves, which doesn't concern me yet. I'm intrigued by the NPC guests of honor for salons, but also inclined towards exploring some of the major social transactions.
Are there Crooked Crosses out there looking for a venue? Perhaps some Authors who'd like a place to read their works? I'd be happy to offer Midnighter performances in return so you can gain Waves, or raise your Waves through the social action of your choice - including those that take the Waves from me. Aside from the jump to Midnighter and remaining able to summon the Amanuensis, I don't need Waves yet.
I'll put actual inquiries in the proper thread when all preparations have been made - what I'm asking, today, is whether a Salon or an Orphanage would be in greater demand.

As mentioned previously, I believe there are more Salons out there than Orphanages. However, I also believe there is much more availability to speak at either than there are schemes in need of speakers, so whichever you choose you will be filling an existing need.

I agree with Kittenpox, I'd recommend whichever is more interesting/fun/in character for you.
My sense from the forums is that there are more Salons out there than Orphanages, and that there are plenty of friends of all sorts willing to make appearances at either. [Perhaps simply because the BDR is eclipsed by God's Editors anyway, and Bizarre is harder to come by?]
Author is an interesting case as it's the only T2 profession available to non-POSI, and it gives valuable rewards for wave-making. I wouldn't be surprised if it were more common than other professions.

I just searched this myself...funny that someone posted this just a couple hours before. Besides this thread, my search yielded this older thread, with rather more discussion and useful details: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic4270-salon-or-orphanage.aspx
