Which is better to get for birth control: the man to get a vasectomy or woman to get a tubal ligation?

It's a serious operation for a woman to have a tubal ligation, while it's a simple outpatient matter for a man to have a vasectomy. Having taken that route myself, I can attest that it just takes a few days to a week or two of recovery, and the greatest discomfort is the itchy re-growing of the shaved area! The cost is far less for the man's operation, and there's no loss of potency or other undesirable side effects. The feeling of liberation from the threat of unwanted pregnancy is wonderful, far outweighing the brief discomfort!
