Investing into government agency 401k and Roth 457 or Roth IRA

So I recently got a position in NYC working for a government agency. I already plan on investing in the Roth 457, but I had a question. Should I invest in both the 401k and 457 plans offered? Unfortunately, they don't match contributions. So I was thinking instead of investing in the 401k, I'd open up a Roth IRA with Fidelity and invest in that and the 457 instead. Any tips and guidance would be appreciated, as I'm a 27-year-old and want to start setting myself up financially correctly for the future.
