Dependig on model, both of the chioces are good. But 195/50 I found to be a bit stiff. Every bump was transmitted to my butt. The tire also made more noise.
195/55 was like stock to me. The tire was wide enough to give me better grip, without additional tire noise. Maybe just a tad bit. Ride comfort was also very similar to stock. From the handling dept, it was better than stock in every aspect.
So why did I go with 205/50? Cause the shop was out of (cheaper brand) 195/55 and I needed tires. I would go back to 195/55 again.
