FLL is great, but from my point of view as an FRC mentor there really isn't a lot of continuity from it to FTC and/or FRC (besides the obvious factor of all being FIRST). The big reason I see to promote FTC over VEX is the chance to go to the FIRST Championship and see the big FRC robots in action. If you aren't expecting ever to try the FRC program, I see nothing wrong with doing both FLL and VEX.
