Is it better to keep Azura's star or Black Star?

For gameplay utility in Skyrim, the Black Star is generally considered better because it acts as a reusable Black Soul Gem, trapping powerful Grand-level human souls, which are essential for enchanting and much easier to obtain than Grand creature souls. Azura's Star is great for general enchanting but only holds white (creature) souls, while the Black Star's ability to hold human (black) souls makes it superior for maxing enchantments and recharging items repeatedly, despite roleplaying implications.
