At the risk of  causing a major arguement if I were to become a Muslim to which group should I belong? or does it matter?

The Sunnis are 85% of the Muslims (according to wikipedia). The Shias have stuff which can be considered as shirk. They claim that their imams are sinless where the Quran says that everyone is sinful. They claim .. that the Prophets wife commited adultry where the Quran says that she didnt. They beat themselves yearly on the day the Prophets (pbuh) grandsons were killed. This is rejected by the normal mind, why beat yourself up for someone dead? In Iraq they take it to the extent that they visit the graves of the prophets grandsons and when they do they bow down for them (haram we only bow down to Allah). There are many many things wrong with them. They claim that the prophets grandsons and family are better than the prophets, be it Jesus or Moses etc. This makes no sence since prophets are prophets and people are people. They are a mnority and a mere nuisence to be frank. They also claim that the prophets companions are Kufar, blasphemeres and that some of them never converted to Islam in the first place.

(and for those doubting what I have said about them you can find it in their main best hadith book called Al-Kafi).
