on the river a.
the rest of the time b.
Unless I'm missing something?

not enough information. In order to know for sure, we would need to know:
- how much is the bet
- how much is the pot
- how much "better" or "worse" is your hand. (for example, 4:1 underdog, etc)
It would be possible to contrive an example where an example of (a) is better than an example of (b), and vice versa.

Usually (b) because winning a pot is usually better than winning a bet, but as jba pointed out, 'it depends.'
Edit: Note, however, it is easier to get an opponent to do (a)....

its all situational really.
A happens alot more in limit and thus is probably alot more important.
