Do you use a heart rate monitor? The trainer class that we have held in the shop over the winter uses them for each and every ride. Anyway, my point to mentioning this to you is if you train at 50-65% of your MHR(maximum heart rate) you actually burn twice as many calories per minute and you are burning fat rather than carbs as with anerobic intervals.
Hope this helps

My thinking:
Do what you like best because you will enjoy it, and will therefore do it more!

A balance of A and B is my say on it. You need a wee bit of both to get what you want.
Pair that up with a balanced diet and then you're all set.
Don't forget to pace your training though. Don't overdo it.
You'll lose motivation and will to continue with the routine faster than you think that way.
