What is better for me wind or solar?
It depends on were you are located. Photovoltaics (solar electric) and solar thermal work well anywhere. Wind power is more suited for rural areas. For off grid, both solar and wind (hybrid) is a must in Illinois. Illinois does not have the sunshine the west coast or southwest deserts have nor the wind that the northern states have. But it has enough of both. Typically more sun less wind in the summer and more wind less sun in the winter. Just remember solar panels need to be in the direct sun to function and wind turbines need to be above houses and trees to produce consistent power.
