I used both too and I think it really depends if you want to pay for it. For small to medium independent projects, I think a EC2 instance that sometimes cuts past that free tier usage is fine, otherwise RDS can be overkill and can seriously eat into costs. I would say a beginner doing independent projects should strongly consider EC2 instances instead of RDS.
