I'd say location first as even a small studio in a good location will rent easily. I would say go for the two bedroom if at all possible, if you find a deal shouldn't be that much worse than a 1 bedroom and potential rent will be higher, will also be easier and better for resale.
Also, I know alot of people dont like roomates but honestly you can probably have a roomate paying your mortgage and splitting utilities. Sure you have someone in your space but think about all you can do with that extra money.
I had a 3 bedroom duplex I was renting to two of my buddies. Had all my bills paid for me for over 2 years which allowed me to save alot and splurge on some trips.
