Between the two, the electoral college, but neither system is perfect, the EC for the reason that the winner takes all system shuts out voters who vote for other candidates...the popular vote for reasons mentioned by htmldon (where's cheech?  ;-))

I think a district system (which would localize recounts to districts rather than entire states) or a proportional system with a minimum threshold for securing EC votes would probably work best.
