Whether you select CA or Psyops, you have to get right in your mind that directly supporting SOF will not likely be your primary function.  If that is your desire, then the earlier suggestion to get into more intel-focused MOSs is better advice.

Depending on what Geographic Combatant Command to which you deploy, the roles will vary.  Both of these enabling capabilities will expose you to a far different view of the world than in the more "gunfighter" roles.  With psyop, you will be trying to find messages and means to influence populations way of thinking (or convincing an adversary that their ways are not healthy).  With CA, you're more likely to engage the civilian population with a view toward bolstering the host nation government.

In both cases, the cast of characters with whom you will interact is broader than you've ever encountered.  Done correctly, both require creativity, imagination, and energy.  Only you know whether you will be more fulfilled operating within the "information operations" domain of Psyop, or the "civil-military operations" realm of CA.
