I've done both and if you want to learn defense quickly, go with BJJ. Wrestling is a great sport and can teach you about body position, balance, control, and conditioning but it does not teach you how to end a fight. Pinning a person in a street fight doesn't do much good. BJJ will teach you the same fundimentals but will take you to the next level as well. Personally, I'd do anything I could to prevent going to the ground in a real fight. Cement, gravel, and broken glass are not as fun as practice mats!
