don't go saltwater with such a small tank. it's a bit demanding to take care of it. go with your original plan of a freshwater planted tank.
i'm a sucka for schools of fish so i would suggest a school of neons or cardinal tetras. maybe a cory or two for bottom scavengers.
nice piece of driftwood...umm..plants would depend on how much lighting you have.
good luck!

Well probably the cheapest way to go is freshwater with community fishes. It's fairly common and therefore much cheaper.
Saltwater in a 15 gallon would be too small for most saltwater fishes. You can probably put like 1-2 small fishes.
Brackish water in a 15 gallon is tough also given that the Brackish fish sold at fishstores can get huge (scats, Africans, Puffers).

No money, no salty. ;D
IMO brackish is ugly.
Fresh seems like the way to go. The planted thing is my favorite. Maybe some cichlids though. Those are awsome fish. But probably no plants with them. Schools of fish are good but I like somthing bigger. Gouramies are good community fish too. Just give us some more info, like what kinda fish your most interested in. ;D

Thanks.
Well, this tank is going to be in the living room and needs to be colourful, so the visitors would look at it rather than watch TV .
These fish I don't like: Livebearers, betta splendens. And that's it.
However my mom likes bettas and since she's the one that is going to watch it all the time, she can choose SOME fish (here exact words LOL ). So, how many bettas would you put in? I was thinking 1 male, some females, a school of barbs (which ones?,chinese maybe?) and some algae eaters and some kuhlis. It is going to be SEAsian if my mom doesn't forget about her "decision". LOL!
However,if I do get my hands on puffers (dwarf) I'm getting some of them and make this tank a species tank for them. No matter what she says.
Thanks.
