You never get the pressure and fine control of a blast of compressed
air with a vacuum hose. It is better to vacumm as much as you can,
because it is a lower force method and less likely to jam particles of
dirt, smoke, etc into things.
There are places where a vacuum is not strong enough, nor a brush able
to reach, and for those a short blast of compressed air from a small
source will do wonders. The trick is to look first and make sure you
are pushing things out, not farther in.

Occam's Razor does not apply to electronics. If something won't turn
on, it's
not likely to be the power switch.
