The only way for you to answer this is to try it (Virtual trading) all.
I can say though as a fulltime trader and mentor in US Equity Options. Options are fantastic because I can make money in a Bullish market, Bearish market and Sideways market, and even several times when I get the direction wrong.
Is it the best utility to trade, for me, without a doubt yes... but only you will know what suits your personality and style when you try them.
