If you're really trying to develop yourself, you got to do both - since they work on completely seperate muscles. And pushups are always going to be easier because you are doing them with less weight.
They work different muscle groups, so unless you want to be lopsided and strong in only one direction, do a variety of exercises to strengthen ALL your muscles, not just some.
If you want your muscles to be developed equally throughout your entire body, then you have to do crunches, running, lifting, pushups, pullups, squatting, and a whole lot more. I have found that jumproping has improved my speed a lot.
I do both. 10 push-ups between breaks (rounds 1-5) when I'm training, then 50 at the end of the session. Pull-ups are worked into my lifting routine and I go back and forth between close and wide grip.
I prefer pull-ups, but they both have a place in my training. The effectiveness of either one in a routine really depends on the goals of the individual.
I do both, but i like pull-ups better. I like doing pull-ups with a very wide grip, that is pretty hard. Also triangle push-ups are definitely very helpful for your triceps.
