The answer to this depends on what you are looking for out of a label. Personally I think that an independent record label is the way to go in the modern market. You will have more flexibility as an artist and are likely to stay out of a 360 deal. Major Record labels aren't as wealthy as they used to be so they will squeeze every penny they can out of an artist. Again, it all depends on the type of career you are trying to have. Good luck!

A few performers (like Juliana Hatfield) had concurrent deals with both an indie and a major.
