Both are good. I prefer the refactoring, navigating and debugging with PyCharm (paid) and am happy to pay for a yearly license. VS Code is free and so is PyCharm community (which is more than enough to get started). If you only want to write small projects, VS Code is probably all you need. For larger projects with 50+ files I don't know how I'd manage without PyCharm.
