i've been doing a lot of backups recently and was wondering which is better to use for frequent backups.

Here's another vote for both. They kind of serve two different purposes.
I keep a TM backup always connected and every few weeks I do a CCC (Super Duper would be fine too) backup to drives I keep at work. TM is great in a pinch in that you can retrieve not only files you may have accidentally deleted, but also any you may have inadvertently saved over.
The real downside to TM is you can't boot from a TM backup which can be a crucial in certain situations. Doing both also allows you to keep an off-site copy. If you ever have a fire or a massive electrical surge at your home, both your computer AND your backup may be toast.
