Ah... excelent question. Some of us had to make that decision during this gen. Here is my answer.
I hate screen tearing with a passion. I dont like frame rate drops but i can live with them(aslong as they are not too severe)? Why? Because i can get used to framerate drops in a way that it becomes just the way the game runs. Screen tearing though, breaks your image and disorients you. Its impossible not to notice it every time, and breaks the imersion.
So, yeah... ill take frame dips over screen tearing.
