Preferably the manga, but probably the anime.

Manga to me seems more canon.

Been discussed before.

Anime is, because Toriyama is involved. He doesn't write manga.

I'm guessing you wanted the anime to be the non-canon one so that any of its feats would be invalidated?

What? That's crazy. That is just...that is crazy Ridley. You need to like....man. I don't know. You're crazy.

To answer your question BG it is hard to say. The typical formula is the manga has a run and, if popular, an anime adaption follows after. Filler is meant to buy the manga time so that the anime does not catch up to it and leave the original story behind. At that point the anime loses the blue prints of the original story.

In this case the original creator of Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and the like is not writing a manga that the anime is following. He's basically double dipping by giving both the anime and manga the same story notes to follow and allowing others to tell his story further. In addition from what I understand about the Japanese market it is very much the case that the anime is meant to advertise the manga while the manga by it's nature advertises the anime(I wanna see Naruto vs Sasuke animated=viewers for the episodes). However in Toriyama's case he seems to rely far more on the animated version of his story(instead of telling Battle of Gods through manga he chose to use the anime). Right now it feels, to me, like the manga is meant to advertise the anime more blatantly than the other way around.

Complicating matters further is that the manga and anime were basically neck and neck when the DBS project was announced, with neither officially the front runner. Now the manga has decided to skip Freeza all together so if you want the story of Freeza's return you have no choice but to watch the anime versions. Does that mean the Freeza stuff is non-canon? Well no obviously not because we all know it happens and the manga flat out tells us this happens.

Anyway unless something major happens that causes a massive contradiction I see no reason to hold one as more canon than the other. In DBS the anime Beerus defeated Gotenks. In BoG he defeated Super Gotenks. In DBS the manga he defeated SSJ3 Gotenks. Arguing which is canon is sorta missing the forest for the trees. Beerus is stronger than Gotenks no matter what form he uses is the general message you're supposed to get.

Freeza wasn't skipped, it was done before the rest.

In the manga they took care of Freeza entirely offscreen. If the manga is the true canon then that means everything involving him is "filler" as it were.

Which would also mean Goku getting blasted by the laser is non-canon. I don't think that's what BG wants but hey.

Did the manga introduce Frieza like the Anime did? Did he show up at all in the Manga?

No. He is literally taken care of offscreen because the mangaka didn't wanna do the Freeza stuff and wanted to get onto Champa. You know, the fun stuff.

No, it was skipped because they released this beforehand:

Ohhh so that is actually canon?

Also RoF was never finish in the manga. They stopped when Frieza was about to transform.
