Quick answer
Both work well. Bromine is gentler and holds up better in hot water; chlorine is fast-acting and easy to find.
The full answer
Bromine stays effective at higher temperatures and has a milder smell. Chlorine acts faster and is usually cheaper. Pick one and stay with it, because switching requires a full drain and refill. Salt systems are another option that generates chlorine gently from salt in the water.
