When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what it is that you are doing. If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.
Usually aerobics would keep your heart rate up more consistently than weight lifting, so for the same period of time, aerobics would burn more calories.

It's very difficult to determine how many calories are burned during any weight lifting activity because there are so many variables. It depends on how much you weigh, if you're using extra weight, how long it takes you to do 50 repetitions, and how long you rest between each rep. Also, weight lifting exercises like squats are not normally used to burn calories, because aerobic exercise is the best if you're concerned about how many calories you're burning.
