Depends on what circumstances you wish to use the machine under and what you budget is.

[The Rock God]

A laptop is better, because you can carry it around with you.

Unless you want top of the line components, in which case you need a desktop because you can't put all of that in a laptop. Which makes the desktop better.

Circumstances depend, laptops for example are portable but not more of the gamer performance.
Towers on the other hand, have more of that 'peak' performance that gamers need for that Hardcore gaming type.
Depends on what you need, I would need laptops because I hate to leave my tower.
It's just what you decide and I would decide a Laptop, but use the Tower as my everyday computer.

Laptops are expensive paperweights.

Unless you have a VERY VERY specific need for some kind of uber powerful laptop, you're wasting money on it. Period.

A laptop gives you one thing only. Portability. ANd for this one single feature you're paying a 2-5x premium on everything.

Unless you NEED portability, and 99% of people don't, get a tower.

If for gaming use, tower. A gaming laptop doesn't run very long on just batteries so you will have to be pluged in to game with it anyway. Plus, as previously stated, towers are way cheaper than an equivalent laptop.
