It's best to do both.
Go play with this web site and look at the optimal solutions (for producing constant power output) under various cost assumptions, using real weather data.
Generally, the best solutions involve some overbuilding, some storage, and some combination of solar and wind. For sunny places, solar + batteries (+ a little hydrogen); for windy places, wind + hydrogen (+ a little solar and batteries).
