i perfer the bands. they are easier to store and you can adjust the resistance. they are also very easy to use in different ways

Dumbells are much more effective, simply because bands and universal weight machines, help support the weight. With free weights your muscles have to support all the weight, during both the expansion and contarction of the exercise.
Dumbells are more effective but can also be more dangerous when using heavier weights.

Dumbells give you better results. Resistance bands only simulate weight. There is nothing more effective than actual weight resistance. Especially if you looking to add bulk and strength.

I prefer dumbbells and I think they're more effective than any band or machine.
With dumbbells, you have to not only lift them, you have to keep proper form and control over the weights which will make you stronger over time. You can do a LOT of exercises with dumbbells too so there's more variety there.
