Books chill me out and I usually prefer them to movies, however if reviews are good and the plot seems interesting then perhaps the movie. All just depends.

Generally I choose books over movies. But most of the time, watching a movie adaptation makes me wanna read the book. 

But there are cases where the book is too ___ (detailed, long, etc), so I choose to watch the movie. Or even vice versa.
Ex. The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit. LOTR is very detailed and long, and I find myself lost most of the time, so I prefer watching the movie(s). The Hobbit is the exact opposite, where I prefer the reading the book because the movies are unnecessarily long. 

There are also cases where watching the movie helps me understand the book a little more. 
Ex. Trainspotting. The book is (mostly) written in Scottish slang, and the chapters go back and forth between characters. So the movie helped me understand the dialog of the book a little more, like figuring out which character it was and then reading it in their voice.

I've forgotten how to tell. Did I ever even know?

Generally books, because usually, that's the original/"real" version of a story. For example, unlike Peter Jackson, I want to know how LotR really ended. (Spoiler: Saruman's fate is considerably more interesting/ironic than in the movie bloated with endless cater-to-the-action-crowd battle scenes.)

In life, he loved snacking on mixed nuts.
