I’d argue stick is more practical. You’re already outdoors, stick gives you walking aid, brush clearing, spider web first defense, potential weapon. Even non perfect rocks are useful but a great stick is mikes ahead of a wonky one.
The stick seems less of a win. Its big and cumbersome once it outlives its usefulness or it breaks. The rock can provide longer but smaller returns, and can outlive your ancestry if taken care of.

The rock would make a better weapon than that stick.
Press X to doubt.
Stone has one use as a thrown weapon, and you must have accuracy. It could be used as a blunt instrument but that requires very close proximity.
Alternatively you can sharpen the stick, and have a length to keep things at bay.
