From my personal viewpoint, I would go for H1B
J1:
Tax saving yes - but after 2 years you will be paying more tax than H1B
Limited visa - J1 visa is for limited time only - it is very fuzzy and difficult to renew unless you go back to the home country, stay for 1 year and reapply.
H1
You have to pay tax
Easy for filing Green Card - can file as soon as you file H1B - dual intent
So, if you are planning to get a green card in future, I would strongly suggest you to go with H1B.
That's my 2 cents
