Question says it all. I would like detail, and a thorough answer.

As surprising as this may seem, Mega Altaria is the better choice simply because you can’t get Mence’s key stone before the elite four. Hell I don’t think it is even available for use during the delta episode. Altaria may be an absolute garbage of a Pokemon but it actually becomes very strong upon mega evolving

Assuming that you have access to both mega stones, whether you trade for it or gen it into the game, then it simply becomes a matter of patience. Salamence is a huge pain in the ass to level up while Altaria is not, compared to Mence at least. If you have the patience to raise a Salamence then absolutely go for it. It is stronger and faster than Altaria and it has a very colorful movepool
