I am no expert by any means, but I just opened DU and saw this on the Latest page. I would think probably the credit card - and it also depends on the card's limit. Aren't the favorable numbers for credit card debt around 30 to 50% of limits?

Either way I would think having more credit available there would be more flexible in terms of future needs/emergencies.
