Neither. They're both superstition.
If I had to pick one, I'd say fairies, because that belief seems rather benign. Angels are part of a more dangerous religious belief that is causing much harm in the world.

A fairy is a spirit or supernatural being that is found in the legends, folklore, and mythology of many cultures. Fairies are generally described as humanoid in appearance and as having magical powers. Their origins are less clear in the folklore, being variously the dead, or some form of angels, or a species completely independent of humans or angels.
An angel is a supernatural being found in many religions. In Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism and Islam, angels, as attendants or guardians to man, typically act as messengers from God.

Fairies live on the ground, in forests (or at the bottom of the garden). Angels are more spiritual.
The most popular belief was that fairies were the fallen angels that chose not to take sides when God banished Lucifer to the bowels of hell. God punished these angels by sending them to live out the rest of their immortal lives as small people with some magical powers that were permanently banned to the earthly plane. Other believed that fairies were the spirits of un-baptized children that died at birth or that they were the souls of the dead that were not good enough to go to heaven or evil enough to go to hell, that they were permanently trapped on the earthly plane until God received them into His kingdom
My choice: Angels as a spiritual support and loving guide

Fairies are small and naughty and live inside flowers. They might do naughty magic on you, and are often more interested in looking cute than doing anything useful. Angels are big and often male. They are so good, they are sometimes a bit boring and not much fun. But they do do a lot of useful things like helping you out when you're lonely and giving you ideas.

Angels have super powers. They can fly, they can glow in the dark, they can appear and disappear at (His) will, they can read minds, they can zap evil-dooers and carry flame throwers ... okay, flaming swords but in the 21st century, they'll be flame throwers and phasers.
They have invisible forcefields and can morph into anything and anyone they want. They can travel way beyond the speed of light and don't require a space suit.
They have super vision, super hearing and are probably super-tasters too.
Basically, they're cool in any century and you definitely want them on your side.

They come from different realms. Angels are good and evil. Some work to help you others work at getting you sad and try to make you feel guilty and scared. Fairies normally bare gifts of love.

Tell Ellen they are both imaginary, just like Santa. My daughter knows that at three. When the subject of angels and god came up last week, she didn't believe that anyone would believe such a thing. Made her daddy proud.

When your asking for help do you mind if it's a fairy or an angel that arrives. I don't.
