I've done both, and trained Aikido quite a bit (3-5 times per week for 4 years), and I'd say you should do shotokan karate. Aikido might have some benefits if you did it intensely, but once a week is useless. Shotokan karate isn't very practical, but it is good for learning how to snap your punches and put your body into into your punches. You can start to learn some basic kicking techniques. Unlike Aikido, you can practice a bit on your own, so you can improve a bit even with training only once a week.
