Fortunately, you don't really have to choose.
Both of them are very effective at level 1, so just put a point in each and use depending on the situation.
Haven't had a chance to train much since BB, but here's my 2 bits (based also on the wisdom of my Heroing mentor):
The difference between Rush and Monster Magnet is that Rush moves you (and the mobs) forward and MM brings mobs to you.
Once you have killed these mobs, where do you want to be?
If you are training on a map with long platforms (ToT for example), you want to be forward, so you have less to walk to find the next enemies to kill. If, however, you're close to a wall, or training on a map with short platforms (Ludi), might as well pull the mobs to you instead.
Note that both skills have the annoying attribute that they first hit the mobs where they stand, then move them. This means that if Rush/MM kill (rare, but happens if you have an insta-kill adventurer ring, or are using it on weak enemies), their drops are where they used to be, and not where you are. If you're a compulsive looter like me, that's annoying.
