Outlook vs Gmail?

Hi!

I'm looking to make a new email. I've heard that in some cases having a @hotmail email could be harmful. Of course it could be BS, but however I'm making a new email. Which one would you recommend, Gmail, Outlook or something else. I'm choosing the email based on "what it says about me", so what should I go for? Also which one would be the most practical for working in finance. I get it that it makes probably little difference, however I just want to make every detail as good as possible.

Thank you!

OP, I think there's a bit of misunderstanding between what you asked and what posters thought you asked. If you're asking for work email (as in, what banks use for your work email), none of this matters. You will use whatever the bank gives you. Sending out work-related emails on a personal email account can be a fireable offence. If you're asking what we use in our personal lives, I would just pick one. I like Gmail. Some people use Outlook. It doesn't matter.
