It depends upon your requirement.
If your need is to scale the graphics to infinite then go for vector else stick to pixel.
Again for vector you need vector editing software separately.
Vector is useful and majorly use for print media.

Vector graphics as everyone mentioned keeps its scalability. That being said. You can use a Vector program to create anything really and make changes quickly to color, shape, layout, overall design. You cannot do that with raster. It time consuming say to redesign a web site in raster than it would be in vector. You can always convert Vector to raster as well. but you cannot convert Raster to vector.

Well both are important like you cannot convert an image to vector if you do than you loose the orignality. same with vector, but the benefit of using vector is you can stretch it as long as you want the quality will remain same but for pixel based you will loose the quality.

It depends on requirement, but in most cases vector graphics are better than raster, for scaling, crispiness and easy to edit.
