Definitely fusion, room temp super conductors would allow for better magnets that would better contain the plasma.


It depends on more factors than the critical temperature. Keeping the magnets cool is not so difficult, liquid nitrogen is fairly cheap. You want materials that can sustain large magnetic fields before losing superconductivity.
