This is a false dichotomy.
Once you accept the possibility of aerosolized transmission/transmission by inhalation, you must strive for the highest grade of respiratory protection 1/

How to achieve that is a valid question considering we had been leaving in a droplet dogma world for long and respiratory protection has not seen as much innovation as it should have. 2/
That is not a reason to settle for leaky surgical masks, though. Wearing respirators for a long time can be difficult, but it is not a binary choice 3/
This is your actual field of choice - non-exhaustive.
