Neither. Campagnolo headsets aren't known for their unusual quality, never mind the campy tax you pay.
Roller bearing headsets suck, contrary to what everyone whole loves them keeps saying. They have free extra friction and they do 'brinel', I've seen plenty with lovely roller-shaped indentations on the bearing races that turned like shit.
If you're going for the classic look, get a Tange Seiki Levin, half the price of the campy headset (the CDS version being even cheaper) of which it is a copy, with double the quality.
