Vinyl is a cheaper-to-manufacture, harder-to-break material most often used for toys and figures. Using Funko as an example, it is a well-known company that can keep its prices low thanks to the accessibility and ease of manufacturing Vinyl allows. Resin, however, is more expensive to mold and manufacture while allowing for higher levels of detail. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of durability, as a resin statue will chip or break easier than a vinyl one.
