Chose Tableau Prep
Tableau Prep is a good tool to use in tandem with Tableau. You can use Tableau by just plugging in an excel sheet or other form of dataset, but the tools that Tableau Prep has specifically makes the data set work better with Tableau. The extra time to optimize is worth it.

Composable Analytics is a well suited application when you need to gain insight on many different sources of information. It is less appropriate if you are trying to use it as an application only instead of a tool to create insight into your data.
Tableau Prep is a very powerful tool when it comes to creating workflows to monitor each stage for data analysis and quality issues.

They are also constantly adding new features and providing software updates, and that is always a plus.
Live connections to cloud services (Google Sheets for example) and cloud hosted databases (cloud hosted SIS for example) for scheduled flows are not supported
