Having had both types of pool there is not a whole lot of difference overall. Salt is onverted to clorine in a chamber killing the bugs the re converted back to salt in the main pool. Cleanliness is the key to a backyard pool. Diligence in cleaning is required.
The saltwater is a little easier on kids eyes but it also does a good job of killing the garden surrounding it. Both are quite expensive to keep and use. Both take a lot of time and a definite commitment to keep them clean and safe.

My recommendation would be go to the beach regularly but if you go down the pool road and in particular an above ground pool, have it professionally installed. The installation looks pretty easy but a pro installer will make a much better job of the task and make maintenance much easier.
