Experience is more important. An employee may not be good in grades during study due to any mitigating factor but he may perform excellent during his job. I have posted details on my page regarding all such info of HR:

Experience is the most important for employers. Most of companies prefer senior employees instead of junior or trainee employees and the job opportunities are for experienced people

I beleive in todays competitve enviornment organisations need dynamic professionals who can do multi tasking. Academics and experience do play a very important role but I beleive little leverage should be given for entry level positions. I personally beleive for senior level and middle management positions experience will be the key but for positions which require1 or2 years experience organisation should go for dynamic professionals who have the capability and belief to help the organsation to achieve its goals.

I will go for experience and for the ones with equivalent experiences, I will look for the academic background. Specific skill ceritification is also important.
