Q: Dildo or vibrator?

That depends on what kind of stimulation you’re going for. If you just want something to penetrate you or your partner in and out, vaginally, orally, or anally, go for a dildo. If you want something that also vibrates, while it penetrates or while it doesn’t, go with a vibrator.
