ASP.NET Core vs ASP.NET MVC 5 for personal projects?

Greeting, fellow devs.

If you were to do a personal project today provided you had to choose between the two technologies mentioned in the title, what would your choice and why? I'm curious!

Also, this is my first post here. Hello there! :)

ASP.NET Core all the way. It is the right way to start new applications in 2017 ;)

I'm thinking the same but I'm a little hesitant. What are my options to use the same ol' school code first approach along with migrations using PostgreSQL as my underlying database? Do you think EF Core is ready as of July 2017? I'm building nothing big, just a very simple domain model with minimal relationships. Nothing complex. :)
