Next Step: Breaststroke or Butterfly?

I've been swimming regularly for fun and fitness for 2-3 years now and have become reasonably proficient in freestyle and backstroke. I swim on my own--no coach or masters group. I'd like to learn the other two strokes. Which of the two should I tackle next? My guess is that breastsroke would be easier to learn and easier on the shoulders but I'm game for either one. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Start working on fly and breaststroke together. They're both "Short Axis" strokes, and there's a number of drills that are almost the same or very similar for both. You can learn the common and basic things for both first, then elaborate on that.
