Is this asking about your individual opinion? If it is, then I would say factoring trinomials. That is because trinomials have an extra step you need to do in order to factor than quadratics.

I think you can answer this by experience.  first question that should come to mind is "do I know both ways of factoring?"

nincompoop · Answer

remember that in a perfect trinomial, it is very easy to factor it out if your leading coefficient is 1, but it becomes difficult when it isn't.  that's when you have other methods like the quadratic formula.
