personally, id suggest less as it is more practical. with less you can go down , AND up to re-read what you may have missed.
in addition to piping out put to less, which is something you will be doing ALOT, you can simply read text files with less;
$ less sometextfile
you can pipe the output of any command to less or more. the programs less, and more are called pagers, so if the configure script of somet program happen to ask you what your favorite pager to use is, that is what it means.

XZLESS(1) XZ Utils XZLESS(1)
NAME
xzless, lzless - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files
SYNOPSIS
xzless [file...]
lzless [file...]
DESCRIPTION
xzless is a filter that displays pagefulls of uncompressed text from compressed file(s) to a terminal. It works on files compressed with
xz(1) or lzma(1). If no files are given, xzless reads from standard input.
xzless uses less(1) as its only pager. Unlike xzmore, the choice of pagers is not alterable by an environment variable. Commands are
based on both more(1) and vi(1), and allow back and forth movement and searching. See the less(1) manual for more information.
The command named lzless is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
ENVIRONMENT
LESSMETACHARS
A list of characters special to the shell. Set by xzless unless it is already set in the environment.
LESSOPEN
Set to a command line to invoke the xz(1) decompressor for preprocessing the input files to less(1).
SEE ALSO
less(1), xz(1), xzmore(1), zless(1)
