Sand or Pebbles??

[thewarning]

I have this plan to create a southeast asian swamp aquarium in my 55g tank. I now have to decide to use sand or estes deep river pebbles. Sand would give it a more natural recreation. But which of the two would look best? Is sand harder to clean and maintain? I use the python to clean my tanks. And I wont be using live plants btw.

I have absolutely no advice. I'm just butting in to make sure you know pictures will be expected when you are done!
