Honestly, I work in the corporate world and I have my septum pierced and stretched. My coworkers don't know unless I tell them. I interact with the top brass and they are totally unaware of it. Septums are SUPER easy healers and they can be hidden whenever. I had mine pierced with a retainer, so I just kept it flipped up at work during healing. No sweat.
Tongue piercings are more visible, especially since people who have them tend to play with them and the jewelry clatters against their teeth. That said, tongue piercings are also more commonly accepted.
As far as your family goes, tell them or not. They won't know if you keep your septum piercing hidden. My family doesn't know, but my friends do. I pick and choose who gets to know what piercings I have, though my lobes are pretty evident. Lol Nobody gives them a second glance, since they are still fairly small. : )
Anyway, my short answer is septum all the way. : )
