I was contemplating reloading to save money, but if I buy new brass or even once fired, I won't be saving that much. Is it better to stock up on 5.56 or 9mm?

For the OP. This is a good question. However, any way that you look at it - a handgun is for when you want to be armed without attracting attention to yourself or for fighting your way to your rifle.
The rifle is the far better option for hunting or defense. I would stock with the higher percentage going toward the rifle. Stock a few hundred quality rounds for each such as Federal Fusion for the rifle and gold dot for the pistol. Then stock allot more FMJ.
Since you reload, start setting aside components. Id go 2/3 rifle and 1/3 pistol.
