Neither is good because they both have poor blood supply and heal slowly but I would have to say ligament as it leads to fundamental joint instability that properly aligned muscles couldn't override.

It depends on the severity and location of the tear. Tendon tears are often more serious because tendons connect muscles to bones and are essential for movement. Ligament tears can also be serious, as they connect bones to other bones and provide stability to joints. Both types of injuries require medical attention for proper treatment and recovery.

What is the medical term meaning a simple overstretch or tear of a muscle or tendon?
A sprain is an overstretched or torn ligament. A stretched ligament will remain stretched. It happens when undue tension is placed upon the ligament. A ligament can stretch to only about 6% of its length before it snaps. A partially torn ligament will slowly repair itself. The process is slow because the ligaments are poorly vascularized. When a ligament is completely torn, it requires surgical intervention. If left untreated, an inflammation of the surrounding joint will break down surrounding tissue and turn the injured ligament into 'mush'. It is a very difficult procedure. An important ligament that is severely damaged must be removed and replaced with a graft or a substitute ligament. ( ex: tendon from a muscle or woven collage bands can be stapled to the articulating bones)
