A litte of both if you can get your hands on a high pressure power washer, or a sand blaster helps alot. 500 Grit makes quick work of everything and if your not looking for the smoothest surface doesnt look to bad painted over.

i say if u wanna take it all off..media/sand blaster if u can rent one or get ur hands on 1, if not..then chem stripper. Chem stripper is clean, does the job quickly and you wont have 2 worry about scratches. Chem strip it, power wash it, and then if u want to smooth some things out, just a nice fine grit paper.
