Chopper vs. Mammoth, both are cool and both are expensive... A hard choice for many I am sure :-)
I was recently on vacation in Bretagne in Northern France, and in the city of Nantes I saw what can be considered to be a real life equivalent of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth - a huge and impressive elephant that makes a lot of noise and can also carry passengers:

These two mounts have the same speed and manoeuvrability in-game though, and because of this I would probably choose the mammoth since I like to have the vendors with me at all times :-)
Riding a mammoth means business for sure, but the downside to it is that it is so huge that takes up a big portion of your screen. If you are one of those people who prefer to have as much visibility of your surroundings as possible, then the chopper is maybe a better choice as it is less imposing and allows you to see more of your screen, but it has no vendors and can only carry one passenger.
