It's your preference, based on your needs, budget, and desired look. For the most part, the human hair weave extensions prevail because of its natural look, flexibility, and durability. Being one of the best synthetic alternatives, it easily integrates with your natural hair and is styled perfectly using any of the heat tools. They are pricier but require maintenance like natural hair, consisting of washing, conditioning, and styling.

Synthetic extensions are also cheaper, come in pre-styled conditions, and require less maintenance. They are for short-period use, when in trials, etc. Yet, they do not have the natural movement of human hair and can't be heat-styled, unless it's a heat-resistant synthetic, and it tangles easily or sheds more. With time, synthetic extensions will lose some sheen and become less natural.
Weave hair extensions are better suited for a natural long-term solution, while synthetic ones are cost-effective for temporary use. Your choice should be based on your lifestyle, budget, and styling preferences.
