Hard case if you are concerned that the guitar may be damaged, but don't forget it will add considerably to the weight. Some of the cheap airlines charge a lot more for excess if you don't 'book' the excess when you purchase your ticket.
That being said, I've taken a guitar in soft case, with fragile stickers, and put through the special handling checkin. Got it all the way to Lombok that way without damage. I did put some extra padding inside the guitar case.
