Hi Joe,
Short answer to your question is neither - bottom line is that none of the martial arts taught are really designed to teach someone how to fight in a real combative type of situation. They are simply physical manifestations of concepts and principles that need to be applied when a true physical confrontation happens.
Learn the principles and concepts and the techniques will naturally come out as required for a particular confrontation.
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but that is the reality of the issue. If you are just looking to defend yourself, I can teach you about three principles and five techniques that you could master in about a month that would put you at about a 99% advantage over anyone that will ever attack you on the street.
Good luck in you endeavors
