The professor from second option was the one to propose it to me in the first place. The guy with a bunch of students said that to me through email, he basically implied that he'd be my advisor if I wanted to, but that he'd prefer that I would choose someone else so that he wouldn't have to use so much time adivising students.
Recently I found out that in practice he has 4 students (the last one didn't contact him in a long while), 2 of those are allegedly finishing their thesis and their scholarships already ended, another's scholarship will end in the middle of next year and the last one's will last until the end of 2022.
I have to focus on qualification next year, so chances are he will have only one of the students he already has now.
I don't like the fact that he wasn't much inviting, but people told me he's very attentious with his students. Sounds like a good person trying to avoid being overloaded without being immoral, I get it.
I don't even want too much time from him, I'd probably be ok with 30 minutes per week... Even though that's more risky for me.
Plus, there are possible backup options there. So right now I'm leaning to first option. Mainly due to subject interest.
I did sent an email in order to check if I understood him correctly though. If he answers even more negatively, I'll probably reconsider.
