Swiss German would be great for chatting and fitting in - especially if you plan to stay long term.

But all the writing and reading that you would do here - is all in High German. So if you want to be able to 'read and write' I'd suggest go for High German.

Enjoy the experience
Totally agree.

Have spent the last 13 years speaking High German in Germany, and now that we are living in the Zürich area, now are learning some Swiss German which helps us to blend in with the locals etc. This way seems to work pretty well, for us and our kids too.
