I think both, when appropriate. Usually I'd rather talk to someone interesting because it takes the pressure off me to come up with something to talk about, but I also don't like being steamrolled when I do have something to say. When it's "my turn" I want the other person to be engaged, not just waiting for their turn to monopolize the conversation again. It's the difference between having a "conversation" and alternating monologues.
