Money up front or Publishing in the long run?

The title is my question -
What do you guys think?
I would prefer to hear what people have experienced with this question rather then what people think

Thanks

Also, this is in context of writing songs - mostly hooks and lyrics. Not so much instrumentation or chord progression.

Publishing in the long run. Nothing like going to the mailbox and getting checks....
