Probably vampire, for me. The werewolf transformation, if initiated amidst combat, it leaves you very vulnerable to multiple attacks as you are helpless to run or retaliate. However, vampire powers progress as you become the better stages. the werewolf powers allowing you to summon wolves, etc. require quests with Aela the Huntress (i think). People may hate you and all, and Lydia may dissaprove of the wrinkles. Yet vampires seem to be the better choice. Anyway, the disadvantage of no access to your armor, potions, spells, or weapons are not usable as a werewolf. Plus, you cannot be well-rested or have lover's comfort as a werewolf, with the exception of using the Lover's Stone (which I used for my werewolf, which helped). The bottom line is, you'll become more powerful faster and easier as a vampire than as a werewolf. In conclusion, the cons outweigh the pros for werewolves, in my opinion.
