Both (and don't forget sexual which is a form of physical but slightly different) are horrendous and cause damage...but I would say that mental (and/or emotional) is because the scars are deeper and never completely heal (and in physical abuse the body can be damaged and heal but it also leaves mental/emotional scars and damage that never completely does).
