Should I choose Jaw Fossil or Sail Fossil?

For most Pokémon players in X/Y or Legends: Z-A, the Jaw Fossil (leading to the Rock/Dragon Tyrunt / Tyrantrum) is considered "better" for battle due to Tyrantrum's strong Attack and useful typing, while the Sail Fossil (Rock/Ice Amaura / Aurorus) offers a cool design and the unique Refrigerate ability but has a crippling 4x weakness to Fighting/Steel, making it less competitively viable, though both are fun choices depending on preference.
