Take judo
Many good points about how to choose a martial art have been made here, but the original question concerned a choice between two classes with no choice of styles, schools, instructors, or other considerations.
Under these circumstances I would also advise that you try judo first. That was my first martial art and I feel it gave me a good grounding (no pun intended for you grapplers out there!) for future training. Certainly a lot will depend upon the instructor, but learning the basics of grappling, throwing, falling, and ground manuveurs may help with other fighting arts. I personally think that given a limited amount of time, you would get more from a judo course than a karate class.
Whichever you choose, I wish you luck!
