Both methods store the information digitally so neither will deteriorate nor will have to worry about getting tape jammed. First, cost is the biggest factor. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how expensive this would be.
Tape is the operative word here.
A tape that has been remastered is just as liable to jam or break in a VCR as one that hasn't. Just the fact that it is on tape means the images will already be deteriorating. The more you play the tape, the worse shape the tape will be in. By getting episodes on VCD, you won't ever lose any data. VCDs can be played on most DVD players, and on computers.
