You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not.

There would be no limits on how many times or where you could teleport. The items you hold while teleporting would be teleported too. You would also have the ability to know if the place would be safe to teleport to, so you wouldn't teleport and get impaled by an icicle or teleport inside a wall and get your insides filled with concrete or something.

Personally, I don't know which one would I pick. Invisibility would be awesome for pranks and stuff, but teleportation probably would be more useful for everyday life.

As others have said, invisibility versus teleportation is way too lopsided in favor of teleportation. Even if we're talking perfect 'you cannot be detected unless you bump into something or otherwise reveal your own presence' invisibility, it's still not good enough to compete with teleportation. Especially with S-tier teleportation like described there.

You'd have to really beef up the invisibility side to make it more fair. Maybe instead of just invisibility, go full incorporeal, with the ability to have gravity affect you (or not affect you) however you want, relative to whatever reference frame you want (be very careful with this) and the ability to make any part of yourself incorporeal or corporeal without it being all of you. Even then, I'd have a bit of a hard time picking this over teleporting.

Or go with the Invisible Woman's powerset, that'd be a pretty solid other option versus that teleportation. At that point I would actually have a hard time choosing, cause that is some nice teleportation, but Sue Storm's powers are pretty high tier as well.

Force field bubbles are wild. I bet you could use them as transportation as well. Just explode one under your feet and catch yourself with them when you land.

At a minimum you could make bridges that would let you walk/run/ride/drive though the air or across water. Still great for travel.
