Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Pen drives, thumb drives, flash disk... whatever name you're using for them, tend to be unreliable. Often a minor internal fault can cause you to lose the entire backup. But they're convenient, compact and you can put a lot of data on them.
Removable hard drives have their own set of problems. They're larger, much more fragile, the moving parts tend to fail and they don't like to be "bumped" when they're writing.
But either way, have a good backup for your critical data.
The advantage to a removable DVDRW is that you can save your data and take it to any machine, and if the drive fails, you still have the DVD that you can read from another machine.
