Might need both: Depending on the type of problem you're having, you might need both kinds of test. The stress test will check how your heart performs with physical exertion; the holter checks for rhythm disturbances only. You could describe your symptoms to your doctor, let him/her examine you, and allow him/her to recommend how to start. Consultation with a cardiologist might be recommended also.
