Rail all day. Other than the ability to get one with built in cant, it also gives you a lot more options for ring placement. If your scope has over 20MOA of adjustment below your zero, I would recommend a 20MOA rail. It's wasted adjustment on your scope otherwise. Try and get a rail with a built in recoil lug - this removes the shearing force of recoil acting on the mounting screws of the rail.
You also have a lot more choices for rings when using a picatinny rail.
