Tier 3 escort vs cruiser

I was wondering if escorts are better than cruiser at tier 3 because practically every commander i've see has a escort.. Should I get a escort or cruiser when I get to commander?

    it depends..... At current the tier 3 Cruiser is a better cruiser then the galaxy class it is more survivable! So maybe go with the tier 3 cruiser and then take the tier 4 escort to avoid the current POS galaxy class.....

    I have both, and while I love the maneuverability of the escort, the cruiser gets three weapon slots fore and aft. The three engineering consoles and higher level B.Off help, too. I've found for missions I've been using the cruiser (with a +22 turn console and combat impulse engines) and for fleet actions/special events I've been hopping in my escort.
