Both

If you do any decent normal program you'll get both.

One comes with the other.

Both - strength will build your inner confidence, size will improve your external SMV. Eric Cressy and John Romaniello have some good routines that encompass both

Both, use periodization for strength and add hypertrophy sets for growth. May brodin be with you.

Both. But if I had to choose, I'd rather be stronger than I look than the other way around.

It's better to actually lift than it is to look like it but in reality you don't even lift.

Depends on your goals, bigger and lean is pure 100% SMV to your bank account, strength is a personal goal, you cannot display strength as SMV.

You cannot possibly focus both and be efficient at both, training for strength takes a toll on your CNS which reduces your volume, training for hypertrophy takes a toll on your stamina which impairs your strength, if you focus both you will end up being a skinny fat that can squat 1 and a half times his BW at most.

So choose, unless you think 1.5 times BW is actually strength.
