It depends entirely on your purpose and how you intend to serve your end users. What are you trying to present--what are users looking for? A website is static--much like a piece of print literature. Your user can find information, but can't add, offer suggests, etc. A blog is interactive--like a conversation. And that conversation is with a group, not just a dialogue between the website owner and themselves. A blog can be a piece of a website or can stand alone. A blog is a time investment. To remain fresh, the owner needs to post at least twice a week, daily is optimal. Depending on how you design a website, once it is in place, it doesn't require as much "daily maintenance." A blog is a piece of Web 2.0--a way to really make the web a vehicle for social networking.

I know you can link a website to a blog but would like to leave that out of my question. Could you also give an explanation for your preference?
