Hi all, I am hanging an older 55" tv on a brick fireplace wall. (heat not an issue) I can line up the holes in the mortar or brick. Which is better? Thanks guys

I'm guessing you are using a TV mounting bracket? Iffin it were me... I'd sink the anchors in the mortar joints if possible. Easier to repair than holes in brick.

I came to a stop sign and a skanky tweaker chick in a tube top climbed out of the brush and propositioned me. She looked like she didn't have any teeth so I counted that as a plus. ... Kizar Sosay

In addition to easier to repair the holes than brick, mortar is (or should be) solid the width of the brick. Unless you hit the brick webbing, the brick will be hollow. For this reason I have always put fasteners into mortar joints.

Tapcons don't need an anchor. I would use at a minimum something like 3/16" with appropriate fender washers. If you've never used them, they hold extremely well.
Bolts in sleeve anchors are fine too. They do require a bigger hole.
