The answer to your question is "neither".  Look at what DISCFREE tells
you.  It sounds like you might have "lost disc space" where some sectors
(really 4K pages) are marked as in use in the disc free space table but
which aren't really used by anything.  In any case, it's the free space
table that DISCFREE reads and the free space table that's consulted and
updated whenever disc space needs to be allocated so that will tell you
if you're in danger of getting "out of disc space" errors.
