It sounds like each one of them has their strengths and their downsides, or better say each one of those two experiences (not therapists) has its up and downsides. Which one would work best for you depends on what your priorities are AT THE MOMENT. Sometimes it's deep inner work, sometimes it's strengthening the functioning capacities. The deep psychodynamic work may help uncover traumatic material that needs to be worked on (whether it can be successfully worked on in psychodynamic therapy is uncertain). Supportive therapy, on the other hand, is great in helping to cope with traumatic symptoms and to strengthen functioning capacity. You need to understand which one is more important for you at the moment and go with the therapy and the therapist who provides that.
