Which is better?

 Everyone who owns a camera probably knows what image stabilization is. So you understand the concept. 
      Well the big question is for SLR cameras, is internal or lens image stabilization better?

 If you have a standard point and shoot camera you probably have some sort of image stabilization. Now your camera may have what is called picture stabilization which is not the same thing. What picture stabilization does, it turns the ISO speed of your camera up to compensate; now in turn that degrades the picture quality, the higher the ISO speed the worse the picture. I don't recommend using this feature.
 Now the big debate in SLR cameras is whether or not the image stabilization is better inside the camera or inside of the lens. Personally I think the lens should have the image stabilization. Why you might ask. Well if you were to buy another camera and it doesn't have image stabilization built in then your saved.

  2. Just my two cents: you don't really need a stabilizer if you know how to manipulate your shutter speed properly. Just make it «focal lenght of your lens multiply by camera's crop factor». For example: 300 mm lens on my Nikon D80 gives me 450, so the shutter speed have to be 1/450s. But i use it at 300 and even lower - it's not a hard rule but something to keep in mind and play with. :) Stabilized lenses are more expensive too, i'd rather spend a money on brighter lens instead.
