It's depending about your material, first of all, but it's better to collaborate with the publishing houses, because its alternative known and have its infection which would give you a push... from the other side the self publishing not bad and every one has to choice his own way.

If you aim for quality, choose a reputable publisher with a well established distribution network. If you just want your book out without caring much about selling it, then choose self-publishing.

I'm gonna have to say that the value of the book is independent of the publishing method; however, few things can be as frustrating as self-publishing.

The chances of (success) for any starting writer is minimal, and even more reduced if he decides to self-publish. And classical publishing may be closed for starting writers

It's a catch-22 situation. The publishing industry is so well established that most of the traditional publishing houses don't want to take gamble on new and unproven authors for the sole reason of having high risks not recouping the investment that they will make.

Self-publishing enables new and unproven authors to have their work available "out there", on different channels such as traditional hardcover and paperback, as well as e-Book.

You need to spend and strategize your own marketing campaigns, and if your product goes well - this increases your chance of getting picked up by a traditional publishing house.

Note that some self-published authors don't even want to be traditionally published because they own 100% of the rights self-published, thus giving them almost 100% royalty.
