    For business i would go to WP. It’s more easy to handle and SEO friendly. Great plugins are available both free and paid. It could handle your business perfectly as you want. But with persona intentions only, blogger is good. Although WP and Blogger are free, it would be better to use the ones that satisfies your intention for blogging.
