Oliver, User stories and personas are not mutually exclusive. A persona embodies high-level information about a user type/role/segment, while a user story represents a specific requirement/task formulated from a user's perspective.
Both can be used to as a means of feeding information obtained through user research into the design process. There is no reason why the two can't be used together, since they operate at different levels of granularity and specificity.
