A bit of applied reason should inform us that he does not. If we could choose both, there would be no point to the thread, as there would be no conflict or decision to be made.
Immortality can be a curse, you still live after all your friends and family members died and let's go the whole way of immortality you will see the sun die and all other stars and will be damned to exist in eternal darkness.

See the problem I've always had with invulnerability is that as well as preventing you from feeling pain and extreme temperatures it would also leave you unable to sense pleasant things like a handshake or a kiss since the same general sensory receptors are used to interpret those stimuli.
As for immortality I'd ask which kind. Biological or total? Total WOULD SUCK. Biological immortality (never dying of old age but still mortal to things like decapitation and complete dismemberment) is a lot better IMO.

well total immortal would mean you are invinciable as well.
so you live forever and is ammune to disease and toxins and aging affects, but you "can" be killed.
invincibility mean you cannot be killed but will die of old age.
just like the olympion gods. they all are immortal which means they live forever if they arent killed.

I'd choose immortality. You can find more people to love, and time heals emotional wounds. You may even live long enough for humanity to get our heads out of our asses and act for the collective good rather than this culture of exploitation and greed. Maybe advance technologically and colonize other planets a la Star Trek (wishful, though highly unlikely, thinking).
At worst you could travel the world and live multiple lives until the bombs drop.
With invincibility you could freeze yourself for 100 or 200 years
