Werewolf doesn't have the debilitating effects of vampirism so if you can't be bothered with that stick to werewolves. Vampire Lord is much better for spellcasting characters, because they get a bunch of cool spells and as a werewolf you lose access to magic. Just weigh the options and figure out what is best for your RP
As a werewolf the gameplay is a bit monotone, you have less possibilities, just go an slaughter everything (but still, I like it more than Vampire Lord). The vamplord is better for an eveil character. Just a recommendation: Chose vampire lord for a fighter character and chose werewolf for a mage character (like Ponty's Shaper), thus you will have more options :)
