which is better cable or sattelite?

I have been with directv for 3 years now. I absolutely hated them, if you are in a contract with them they own you pretty much. Well my contract is finally over, I called to cancel and I realized I can get cable with DVR for 2 rooms for $58, and not be in a contract, so I can cancel at anytime. Or I can go with cable and get the cable with dvr but I will have on demand and all that stuff too for around $60 a month. Which do you think is betteR?
