Which universe do you think you will get powers faster?
From random radioactive spider bites to being chosen to weild a will powered ring, which universe do you think would grant you some kind of power faster?
DC has millions of minorly-powered people according to Brother Eye, and that's just the active ones. People with significant power are rarer, but with mutants currently rare in Marvel, I think that might tip it.

Marvel.
In DC you kinda have to be chosen for GL-status and most people with powers are aliens. In Marvel there's all types of radiation/serums/items that you could just stumble upon while doing some seemingly innocent task.
True about DC, but it would be crazy if i just ended up there for a day by accident and the guardians chose me to wield the ring. I'd be like "that's cool and all but i don't even live here."
Random metahumans are very common, as well as plenty of item/accident/etc. type supers.
Ever read the Invasion story arc? The Dominators activated the powers of many people (so many that Monel took them to colonize other worlds, and they became the source of the 'humans with powers' types that are so common in the Legion of Superheroes futurue). Or Bloodlines, where the attacks from the Bloodline alien triggered dozens for the same reason. Large number of people have a latent metagene.
And in 52, Luthor learned how to purposefully activate the metagene in the Everyman Project (with side-effects, but still).
Most people with powers aren't aliens, the metagene is by far the most common source.
DC, I could either be born metahuman, join the military and become that way, or just meet some people who knew magic and make myself that way.
In Marvel, I'd just wait for galactus to come back to Earth (which he will.... give it time) and then wait for the opportunity to present itself and pull a Norrin.
