Otos VS. Cherry shrimp and Cherry shrimp populations control

Dose anyone have prefer Oto cats over  cherry shrimp or visa-versa.

 i need some algae controll since clown plecos SUCK at eating algae. I have been thinking about getting one of the Cherry shrimp or Oto cats) and can't decide.

 

 also If i do get the cherries I need to know if my cacatuoides will keep the population in check

 

thanks

why not go for both..

 

oto can eat algae off the glass while shrimp really can't.

 

as for cac...i don't know if they will eat the shrimp but they mouth are pretty big and will fit.
