It depends. If it one of those prefab showers, then a tub would have better resale value. If it is one of those well done walk in tiled showers with glass walls, it could have better appeal than a basic tub and shower.
If you opt for a shower stall, get a lower spout installed. In a condo, a tub is sometimes the only place to fill up a bucket or wash some odd things, and having a spout will give you the same flexibility.
I've seen some badly laid out bathrooms, and one of my pet peeves are tubs that are positioned so that when you are soaking your head is right next the toilet bowl. If I had to settle for a layout like that, I'd go for the shower stall instead.
