I would say neither.
Personally I think physical discipline should only be used as a last resort when the child is putting themselves in danger and have been asked several times to stop, like messing around on a busy road or playing with something dangerous.
The impression I get from the anti-smacking brigade in this thread is that they seem to be under the impression that the people who are pro physical discipline are looking for any excuse to brat the crap out of their kids when if you actually read the thread that isn't the case at all.
