It depends. Does you spouse has a good job and is secured until he/she gets the GC? If yes, I'd suggest you to go for H4. In H4 status- you will enjoy instate tution fees in most of the states and you can take semester breaks. But keep in mind you cannot work at all. However you can utilize the time until you get your GC by studying or doing something like that or even by making babies if you are a female.

In the case you are worried about your spouse's job security, go for F1. In worst case scenario your spouse has an option of converting to F2 which can be a life saver if you guys want to continue stay in US.

Hope this helps.
