Why not both? Both is cool. Some people don't trust VPNs. Some people don't trust Tor.
Using both means if someone wants to get at you they likely have to compromise both.
Here's why
When randomly combining two things, it's usually more reasonable to assume you'll get the worst parts of both rather than the best. Especially when concerning safety, security, privacy, or other weakest link type endeavours.
And that's the reason I linked this without downvoting.
