It depends on your skill level, and your ability to control distance. Laser provides exact distance to the pin, and not center of green as GPS does. GPS generally also gives front of green and back of green. Knowing the distance between the pin and edge of green matters to skilled players, for club selection. For the average golfer, I think most pros would tell you to hit it at the center of the green. I can get the GPS front-back and Laser pin position in less than 10 seconds. I think this is much faster than guestimating, and then having second thoughts.
