Neither. Each unit has it's strengths and weaknesses. SEAL teams will most likely be called in if the target is on the ocean or some other water location or when stealth is a better choice instead of a direct raid. Rangers, as a rapid-deployment unit, specialize in airfield seizures and building raids.
In the Tier system mentioned in the previous answer, the regular SEAL teams are Tier 3, while the Army Rangers are Tier 2. This is because of their mission differences. The Army Rangers are Tier 2 because they are the ones who provide most of the support and reinforcements for the Tier 1 units - Delta and DevGru. The regular SEAL teams and Army Special Forces are Tier 3 because they are not needed as much for JSOC operations. The Tier system is not a measurement of unit toughness. That is a common misconception. It is actually used to determine how much funding each unit receives in order to get what they need to accomplish their mission.
