OK this opinion is coming from someone who had neither but was threatened with them as bub was stuck. Luckily I had the most beautiful midwife who supported my wishes who systematically gave me new positions to try which got bub unstuck and out. The Dr did do an (unnecessary) epi in preparation, without any anestetic (was surprised I could feel it - MEN!) but I think my first choice if bub is stuck or in distress is to move to a different position and see if it helps and buys you more time to think about options.

Having said that I would go with vac, forceps, c-sec but talk to your OB and see what they are more comfortable using and what they would recommend in each circumstance
