When put into practice in a country, both have a couple of fatal flaws. Both are de-humanizing since they only care about our material existence, and they both lead to oppression of the common people, in one case by corporations/monopolies, in the other by the state.

Personally I put distributism over both of them

Since in the short term a transition away from any of them is unlikely, I think socialism may work better for n goods or services that are either necessary for our lives, like a health system, or national security. On the other hand, capitalism works better for goods or services that improve our welfare.
