Salicylic acid is more keratolitic (it helps to uncloge pores), exfoliating properties are mild. AHA (including glucolic acid) have sronger exfoliating effect. But be careful, skin on the neck is usually quite sensitive to high percentage of acids.

Glycolic acid is better. Your neck has thinner skin and not as many sebaceous glands. So proceed cautiously.

I personally like glycolic acid more but it's a very personal thing depending on what your skin needs and what you want to achieve
