Anyway, it's all a matter of opinion when it comes to how "fun" jobs are. Personally, I think BLM is more "fun" than RDM, mainly because it is a bit less complicated. However, I prefer to play RDM as a main job because it is complicated. I love having something to do at every moment, and when I'm bored I can nuke like a BLM and have a blast.
BLM is complicated in it's own way, with magic bursts, elemental enfeebles, elements, and smart MP using, but it's multitasking requirements pale in comparison to RDM. With RDM (at middle/upper levels) you have to balance refresh, enfeebles, haste, curing, and nuking (nukeing?) while making sure they all work properly. You need to know when you can and should rest, and the difference between what you can cast on a mob or player and what you should cast on them.
I'm not going to give you any advice on what you should pick. It's your decision, and you might not agree with me. For example: I think WHM is horrifically mundane to play, which is why I only have it leveled to 26. I have several friends who have taken it to 60+, and a few who have it at 75.
No matter what you choose, you will be leveling another mage job anyway. Like if you choose BLM, you will have to level WHM to sub. If you choose RDM you will need either WHM or BLM to sub, depending on which you like better (I prefer BLM for warp, aspir, and drain, but you really should have both leveled in case your party has a favorite).
