I think it really depends on how much control and long term growth you want. Ecommerce usually works better for building a real brand, while dropshipping is often chosen for quick testing and lower startup costs.

Starting with a small niche makes much more sense than trying to build a huge store right away. It helps you understand customer demand faster and avoid wasting money on unnecessary products.
