Neither.
Just withdraw euros when you arrive from the nearest ATMLive each day like its your last because one day you'll be right0 -
I'd either take a debit card that doesn't charge foreign withdrawal fees, or change over here.0

We always draw money from the ATM when abroad. It saves the hassle of getting currency and then exchanging it back, saves having far more money on your then you really need (or leaving in the hotel - assuming they have a safe). ATM is just so much more convinient (tend not too worry whether it is the best rate because I reckon the convinience outweighs any small gains).0

I always get some Euros from Cheque Centre (random but they have the best rates!) and put bigger purchases on my bank card.0
