Chords, hands down. Learning a few commonly used chords instantly opens up your song arsenal. Reading chords and lyrics while playing is much more fun than spending however long learning one song and beating it to death.

Learn the open chords and power chords. You can generally play almost any rock song after learning that stuff.
Once you get bored with that move to barre chords, (that will suck), and scales.
Learning scales will also teach you the fretboard. Once you have all that I guarantee you will be able to play almost any song you wish to learn.
Learning all the scales will also help make you a killer lead guitarist, and your confidence in playing with others will increase two fold.
Somewhere in between all of this learn some theory, at the very least chord progressions. I-IV-V, etc.
Then you'll know what to do when someone says, "Let's jam in A blues".
It's definitely a journey, enjoy the ride
