I believe that both operate better with a stand alone USB WiFi device vs. a MiFi type device but if you have a MiFi air card you most likely do not need either device as the MiFi is it's own full blown router.
The drawback to using a MiFi as the only router in an RV is that if you are at a park that actually has decent wifi (and these really do exist) then each device in your RV has to be separately connected to the park's wifi. You may be surprised how many devices that includes.
We currently carry two laptops, an iPad, a tablet, a Roku, a printer and a DirecTV DVR all of which are require internet access. I find it a lot easier to use a single router with WiFi as WAN capability than to connect each of these devices one at a time every time we go to a new park. I find that we use park wifi more often since it's easy to change back to our phone's hotspot if the wifi slows down; all it takes is a single keystroke to transfer all the devices on our network from one internet source to another.
