Both are very good optically. The 70-200mm f4 is less heavy and less wide.
The 70-300 focusses super fast, and obviously has the 200-300mm range the 70-200 lacks.
The 70-200mm f4 can, however, be used with a canon 1.4x extender or 1.4x Kenko tele converter, which then brings it to 200 x 1.4 = 280mm at f5.6, so comparable to the 70-300mm.
I can't tell you which one will suit you better.. both are good lenses.
More affordable and still good optically are the Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 USM and the Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 USD VC.
