This would largely depend on what you are doing, a Sequence diagram by nature captures the sequence of events as well as object inter-communication. Collaboration diagrams focus primarily on the relationships. I find that they are both very similar. I mostly use sequence diagrams and seldom use collaboration diagrams. A good use is for communicating with business analysts. It provides a big picture overview that they can understand, unlike the sequence diagram, which may be discerned as cryptic.

The sequence diagrams help me organize my objects, and determine where implementation belongs.

Hope that is what you were looking for.
