From another perspective: more people play the trumpet than the trombone, so if you play trombone, you'll have more chances to play and be in more demand.
With the exception of the horn, brass instruments pretty much are the same (gross technnique-wise). You practice the overtone series to build up flexibility in your embouchure. Trumpet has a slightly tighter and smaller embouchure, trombone is a little looser (not as much as you'd think, though), and tuba is a bit looser yet. Horn is a little more difficult because you start out higher in the overtone series, so there's more room for error.
No matter which brass instrument you pick, it's all about building flexibility and stamina for your embouchure.
