What's Better : Home Stager OR Home Designer?

If my budget is tight on flipping, I'd like to know which way is better to spend money on. I've talked to Home Stager and they said staging is more important I don't need a designer to design the house. And at the same time the Home Designer is saying that the actual color of the cabinet, floor, wall, window treatments are more important(having professionals to help can make things different) than just deorating house with furnitures.

Home Stager - They make the house look nicer when it's all staged. And the designs through out the house was done by me not by the professional.

Home Designer - They have the talent to make house look better than what normal people can do and it might help to sell the house quicker. But the house will not be staged.

I'm trying to just choose one to stay whinin the budget and still make the house look beautiful to sell. Please let me know what you think of it.

Thank you in advance!
