Depends on your needs. The track-oriented DAW is your more traditional type of reocrding and mixing environment, meant to emulate (to some extent) multitrack tape decks and hardware mixers. You would use this for more general recordings, like recording live instruments, vocals, etc. Read here for details on mod tracking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracker. I've never done module tracking (not even back when I was a more hardcore Amiga user).
