Both are good as long as it's a corn tortilla. If I'm going to taco bell where it's either hard corn or soft flour, I always get hard. Otherwise, I don't really care. I do both when I make them at home, although I just buy the hard shells instead of making them.

soft flour tortillas. hard shells just crack easily and everything inside the taco ends up falling all over your plate :( at least I can scoop it up and eat it after though right

especially if they’re buttered flour tortillas ;>

Hard tacos when I lived in the US Midwest and hadn't had a proper street taco. Now that I have? Daaaaaamn son. Street taco >>> anything I can do with a hard shell.
Just in case you, too, live in a place where you've never had the opportunity, they don't have much in common with Taco Bell. It's usually cilantro, onion, meat, some kinda sauce. If they've got tripas on the menu, it's the same meat as chitterlings (though round here most of the tripas is beef, not pork) and my favorite of the meats I've had.
In case you instead live in a place where you don't know why I'm specifying this: in the swathes of the American Midwest I've inhabited, your options for Mexican food are taco bell (no disrespect to taco bell. Hard shell all the way there. But it's way different), Chipotle (again, very different), or "Mexican restaurant". There's just not an option for street tacos. The burritos at "Mexican restaurant"""s I've been to were usually like...a can of refried beans and a cup of cheddar cheese in a big flour tortilla, microwaved. Bout the only thing in common was the soccer game playing in the background.
For contrast, street taco my beloved:

Both? Both are good. But I go for soft flour tortillas when I make my own. As everyone else has said, hard ones break too easily and I usually end up turning them into a taco salad.

I'll put a cool signature here eventually
