I've done both, and if you join the Dawnguard, you destroy all the Vampires and random encounters with Vampires significantly declines. If you join the Vampires, then Dawnguard agents become random encounters and will attack you. Though, Castle Volkihar is a lot easier to move around in than Fort Dawnguard. I believe there are more people in the Castle than Dawnguard. So in my opinion, the Vampires are better.
