At the risk of sounding inane, you have to do both. Iterate, release early, and listen to users (PG). But also think deeply about the market, how you differentiate yourself, how you'll get the message out, and be sure you're really building something worthwhile (SB). Both contribute to the same goal - figuring out what your product or service will look like - but they attack it from different sides.

No reason why you can't do both. But if you naturally lean in one direction, you might want to be careful that you don't ignore the other.
