go for the interrogation if it means that you can start selling the alien equipment. Also, wooohoo I survived a mission and even hit something.
You sure it's a good idea to have something in each hand when using rifles, it decreases accuracy, doesn't do so for pistols though.

Interrogate.
As far as I get the vibe of it, without interrogation (and, following it, research) you won't sell any alien artifacts and without selling alien artifacts there's no point to research armour - it's not like you'll have money for it. So make a stable financial base first and care about your cannon fodder later - unlike money, human lives are almost limitless.

Voting closed.
The 30 scientists will be split as follows: 12 for the armor project, 18 for the alien interrogation. Sargeant Azira's help will be greatly appreciated.
Standby for short update.

Update 5 - minupdate
More KwaCOM rookies take their callsigns. The North American base now has an almost complete Codex crew.
This will be most useful. As soon as the engineers finish the damn medi-kits and begin working on these.
We randomly select one of the two gray aliens and begin interrogation. As you see, the interrogation kicks off really fast. Good work Sargeant Azira
Latest transfers arrive from KwaCOM to PotatoCOM.
RECRUITMENT OPTIONS:
Soldiers will now assume callsigns as per your wishes. New soldiers will be assuming callsigns of their deceased fellows. We're not advanced enough to clone troopers yet. I plan on making agressive interceptions most of the time, resulting in pilot casualties. After all, the UFOs should not only run, but also manoeuvre to attack their pursuers!
The main base has openings for:
1 Fighter pilot
2 Tank/Cannon remote pilots
The two auxiliary interception bases have each oepnings for:
2 Squaddies
4 Rookies
2 Tank/Cannon remote pilots
1 Tank/Rocket Launcher remote pilot
The Asian interception base has additional openings for:
1 Captain
2 Sargeants
1 Fighter pilot
5 Rookies
Be warned, however, that the Asian base won't see action soon, perhaps apart from the figher pilot.

Just doing my part. Damn little buggers need to get the fuck off our planet, and fast!
We can't have some pansy-asses in their white frocks lily-footing about them. They need to know who's boss, no "understanding their mindset through empathy" bullshit. Crack some bones, and their words start to spill soon enough.
UPDATE 6
More engineers. Good, we'll need them. Soon we'll be starting mass production of laser rifles.
KwaCOM is expanding.
And the alien's interrogation went well!
In addition to information on its species, the alien revealed that both itself and the other captured creature are alien engineers! We're extremely lucky, they should be able to tell us much about alien technology.
It started by describing this monster. God-Emperor have mercy on us should the aliens start deploying such beasts! Then our scientists, and the ever reliable Sargeant Azira, were able to convince the "Sectoid" to share its knowledge of an alien "Mind Probe" with us. This enables us to research this item.
KwaCOM is now capable of capturing live aliens too. Perfect. What could ever go wro...
Captain Malakal leads the team.
It's KickAss' turn to control the tank. A new control pad replaced the old fashioned joystick to make controls more welcoming. KickAss has been assured that when he'll press a button, something awesome will happen... As of now, awesome = new alien life form!
There are more of them surrounding our landing zone!
From almost every direction.
Correction: from *every* direction. This is going to be bloody.
A grenade is relayed to Slaughter.
He lobbs it at the nearest alien.
JoKa follows a similar procedure.
And detects yet another alien...
...before lobbing the grenade at his intended target.
Both aliens die.
This alien floated forward and released a barrage of plasma bursts.
At our tank. Maybe the pad with awesome buttons was not such a good idea.
JoKa was killed by another alien. RIP JoKa
The alien shrugged off two rifle shots and remained standing. Jaedar JR is, unfortunately, in no position to support those outside the Skyranger.
The "Floaters" concentrate on killing civilians.
But one advances boldly...
...and shoots Azira! RIP Azira
Another alien life form!
Dealt with by Jaedar JR's rocket launcher reaction fire.
Another one located. It's huge, so maybe rocket fire is the best way to deal with it. Jaedar JR reloads...
And blasts the thing to pieces.
Slips prepares to take revenge on the alien that killed Azira.
At this range that was too easy.
Advancing, he locates another hostile.
But it is slaughter who deals with it.
slaughter is shot by an alien lurking by the gas station, but survives!
He takes his aim. This will be a difficult shot, through two windows...
But he kills the creature!
And a civilian. Oh well. So it goes. Slips approaches Slaughter with a medi-kit.
Slaughter locates another Floater. He lobbs a grenade its way and pops back behind cover.
The grenade explodes, but no death cry is heard. Perhaps the alien was ripped to pieces?
While Thrombone and Desmondus Rotundus scout a warehouse, an alien bursts in and kills a civilian!
And Slaughter finds even more aliens at the gas station. Perhaps we can blow up the dispensers?
Thrombone prepares to execute the civilian-slayer.
And is killed by this alien's reaction fire mere seconds afterwards. RIP Thrombone
Desmondus prepares to take revenge.
The alien's reaction fire wounds him too!
But the Floater is already in the scope of Jaedar JR's rocket launcher.
And it's dealt with.
Desmondus is heavily wounded, but Malakal has a medi-kit. The captain exits the safety of the Skyranger to help his men!
Desmondus is stabilised.
Having spent all his rockets, Jaedar wanted to pick up the gear of a fallen comrade, and located an alien in the process!
Hellraiser's rocket launcher, however, is full and he kills the thing!
Malakal locates an alien floating through the air! Their nickname is fully deserved. It's possibly the one that just shot Slaughter. RIP Slaughter
Slips find another Floater. That's more likely the one responsible for Slaughter's death.
Now it won't kill anyone.
Jaedar JR is shot while scouting the park. RIP Jaedar JR
In the meantime, the airborne Floater snipes Malakal. RIP Malakal
As Slips attempts to retaliate, he falls from an alien's reaction fire. RIP Slips
Hellraiser II, the sole living member of the team, decides to take off with the Skyranger.
The Aussies will hate X-COM for that.
Carpet bombing of the area ensues.
Recruitment options:
X-COM has now 9 Rookie openings in various bases. Be assured that they will sooner rather than later end up in PotatoCOM.

It's good to be a member of EuroCom. Really, really good.
This LP is becoming totally prestigious, by the way.

Seppuku recommended.
I see the proud tradition of my incarnations dying horribly on the field of battle without making much of themselves continue. At least I got to torture the captured gray ones a bit before floater plasma brought me low.
Well, the callsign's a proud one. I fully expect some other meatshield to step up and assume the mantle of Interrogator Azira.

It would appear it is working. I swear I had bursts of automatic fire coming my way.

In a terror mission? With all those civilians running about? Good luck with that! But be patient. LAZORS are but a few days away.
UPDATE 7
Rookies from KwaCOM arrive to reinforce Potato Base.
Surprisingly, the Council of Founding Nations doesn't hate us.
Most are pleased. Except, of course, the Aussies.
Pleased as they are, their funding is quite low. We're nearly penniless, so drastic measures will be taken. Our stockpile of Alien Alloys will be sold.
Piloting his indefatigable interceptor, Bee catches a glimpse of his prey.
The UFO closes on him!
But he downs it.
After the clusterfuck of the previous mission, Commander Roxorowski himself leads the away team.
Gondolin's tank is now armed with a cannon instead of a rocket launcher. We lost EuroCOM's both rocket tanks and can't afford replacements. Still, its cameras are as good as any and he spots the first hostile. Sectoids again.
Another Sectoid. Fortunately this "Floater" warrior species seems to be reserved for terror missions.
Gondolin deals with the nearest gray alien.
Dextermorgan aims at the other one.
But his shots all go wide.
Ironyuri to the rescue!
He hits the Sectoid once...
And it retreats into the building.
Dextermorgan locates another alien.
He wounds it! And it returns fire, hitting him. Miraculously, he survived the shot without suffering any serious wounds!
It's up to ironyuri to finish it off though.
Gondolin checks the alien's hidey hole with his tank and finds that there are two of them. A grenade is lobbed at the door.
It goes off without killing any Sectoid, but the gray aliens decide to commit seppuku by way of their own grenade.
We are on a horribly tight budget this month.
Replacements for the soldiers lost during the terror mission arrive. They will soon assume callsigns of those who perished.
Bee chases the very small UFO all over Sahara, but he finally destroys it.
Moments later our workshops complete the production of Laser Rifles! We immediately equip the Skyranger with them.
Another very small UFO is located.
It shares the previous one's fate. All courtesy of Bee's Avalanche missiles.
And another flying soucer is abroad.
At first it eludes Bee...
Then it moves dangerously close.
Its the smaller kind of small UFOs. Good.
And it goes down!
First two new recruits will be assigned to EuroCOM and will get to test Laser Rifles in the upcoming mission!
