Let's say you have the choice to sign with either a Major label or an Indie label, which one would you pick? I'd pick the Indie one by far. More control over your own music is probably why I would pick Indie > Major. Let's say after that you have money, and a good fan base then I would sign with a Major Label.
So what would you choose if you had a chance?

It all depends on the deal. If I can get a deal where I own my masters (all the rights to all my songs) and I have creative control then I would sign to a major. The only thing I would have to worry about is getting shelved and trying to work my way out of the label. But if I were on an indie label it seems like they are literally in charge of were they want to take there career, as far as marketing, touring ect. Which maybe a lot more work, but you can make more money per CD sold or per person at your show than you can as a major artist because you don't have a crowd of people in charge of what direction they're taking you.
