I've heard good and bad things about both. I am trying to figure out which I should learn, as I am fairly new to the Lua language. Pros? Cons? Which do you prefer and why?

You should 99% of the time use DataStore as your data storage solution because DataStore is the new, more efficient and reliable storage system. DataPersistence shouldn't be trusted.
