Are you a current M system user?  If so, get the M50 II and keep going with what you already know.

Are you currently using a Canon DSLR?  Get the R50.  The RF mount is Canon's future.

Is this your first interchangeable lens camera?  If your budget is really tight, go for the M system and/or adapted DSLR lenses, but try to buy used/refurbished/closeout sale.  If price is not a primary constraint, go for the R50 due to future support.

At this point, it is a very safe assumption that all M system development has ceased, and no manufacture will be releasing new autofocus lenses for the mount.  If you want a long term home with future development, that place is the RF mount.  Buying into the M system today is just as good/bad as buying a Canon DSLR today.  They both still work fine, but both are dead ends.
