They are both bad things....and not mutually exclusive. A foreclosure that doesn't pay off the debt can mean that unpaid portion becomes a charge off, if uncollected.
However, a foreclosure is normally viewed as a more severe thing than a charge off....as foreclosures only occur with secured loans (generally homes) and a charge off can occur with just about any debt.
I suspect a mortgage would never just be charged off as they would always want to foreclose and get as much from the security as they can, so they would only have to charge off less.

What does charge off on a credit report mean?
It means the creditor has essentially given up on trying to collect a debt from you (though they may have sold it to a collection agency for pennies on the dollar). There's also a "paid charge off", which means that, after they gave up, you paid it off anyway, which really doesn't do you much good, because a paid charge off looks just as bad on your credit report as a charge off. A charge off, of either kind, is the third worst thing you can have on your credit report, after (1) bankruptcy, and (2) repossession/foreclosure.
