Queens Gambit Declined vs Slav/Semi Slav (sh.itjust.works)

For black, between QGD and Slav/Semi-slav, which do you prefer and why?

At the moment I am learning a new repertoire and while I like some of the possible solutions to better memorize the repertoire (Chessable, Chesstempo, Lichess, etc.) I wanted to create my own thing to better suit my specific needs and to make it visually...
