I think that they should both be consumed for maximized benefits.  If you do end up choosing either or I would have to vote flaxseed oil. Although they have much in common and help in many of the same ways, sometimes fish oil can have high levels of mercury and it can be contaminated. Flaxseed oil can also have its own problems.
