I used both; we had so much growing that I dried a lot.

I "used" was deliberate past tense. Mum did us a favour when
she visited and pulled out the funny weeds in the garden.
She's actually quite a keen gardener - but had never seen
oregano before and it had overgrown a bit. Time to buy some
more seeds or seedlings:-)

I found the flavours quite different between dried and
fresh. The same with basil.
