Which technique/tool is better to have, in combat or otherwise?

The Mother and Father used by Lady Chiyo against Sasori?


Or the Lightning Cloak used by the Raikage?

On one hand, the Lightning Cloak is great because it always boosts you no matter what level you are at. A genin will get a boost to help them be better than other genin while a kage will get the same effect matching their level. This means the technique is always useful. On the other hand, it requires excessive amounts of energy to run and maintain while seemingly not allowing for the usage of other energy techniques because it is continuously applied.

For the puppets, they provide a non-commital option and likewise also move at speeds matching those of the user. However, there are levels of opponents and types of defenses that limit the effectiveness of wood and wires, such as Suigetsu and Kimimaro.

So which is better? Or does it depend on levels of combat, the level of opponent one is facing? Or perhaps it depends on different types of opponents and the combination potential of each? If so, which is generally more useful?

What say you?
