I think this question is a little too broad. Both serve there purpose in certain decks. But i don't think I could just say "this is better than that" in this situation. What kind of deck are you thinking about when this question popped into your cranium?

By enchantments do you mean auras specifically?

Pros (Equip)

Doesn't go away easily, so you can reuse it when nessecary. 
Cards that help get the equip cost down, or non-existent.

Cons

Equip cost can tend to be cumbersome in situations.
Abundance of artifact removal.
Not many cheap ways to make industructable.


Pros (Aura)

Relitavly cheap in comparison.
Cheap way to make them indestructible or shrouded, or hexproofed.  You name it.
Attach to any target allowed by the card.
No Equip cost.
Cheap ways to get out

Cons

One time use (most of the time)
Abundance of enchantment removal
Can't change targeted creature when needed. (usually)
