Really good question I asked myself often the last months. From a developers point of view both stay strong and demanded. HTML5 because it is more than just HTML, CSS and JS—every web app has some kind of backend which creates and distributes the app. And even if native apps will rule they need some kind of a backend too. So there is no mistake in focussing on non-native apps. Native apps are pretty strong on mobile platforms due to good reasons. There is still growth and despite forecasts that also HTML5 apps will dominate mobile soon I am sure that native will stay there for a long time. Personally I don't like native development because development is more expensive, you are dependent of few gatekeepers and time-to-market and iteration speed is better with non-native. To your question: choose that tech or use case which you like, choose something which is popular and try to work with talented people at a startup building an exciting product. Switching to another tech later is easy if you are good with basic design principles/patterns,etc. Making the decision native or non-native is not important—it's about many contacts to talented people.
