I've used both Rails and Laravel. The past two years I've been doing more and more Laravel work. Clients seem to be more comfortable with their apps being PHP based vs Ruby/Rails that they aren't as familiar with. I would recommend learning Laravel. It's a great framework with lots of great tools. Homestead and Forge save tons of time and make deployment really easy to Digital Ocean or AWS. Laravel spark looks really promising to speed up SaaS app development. And laracasts.com is a great place to learn. Rails is elegant . . . Laravel while not quite as elegant is similar and might even be improving/innovating to be a better framework. Good luck.
