Funner one.: The one you enjoy the most is the one you will continue doing as part of your lifestyle which will end up burning the most calories in the long run. Calorie burn is not a sprint, it's a marathon, a lifestyle decision. So go for the one you are willing to do for a longer period of time and the one you enjoy the most.
