Which should I use google adsense or adwords?

You buy adwords for advertising. In other words, you are paying for advertising.
Adsense on the other hand is something that publishers (website owners, etc) place on their site that will generate ads relevant to the site's content. You make money anytime someone clicks on the link (but you can not ask them to do so). Some pay a few cents, others pay a few dollars per click. You have no control over what ads appear there. Google uses an algorithm that searches you site for its content. It places ads that it feels the visitor would be most likely to be interested in.
