2 iron vs 5 wood

[Bflynn23]

I have an open spot in my bag right now and looking to fill it with either a 2 iron or 5 wood but can't make a decision. Any advice would be nice. Thanks

2 iron is quite hard to hit consistently. I'd personally go 5 wood or a 2 hybrid (17*?)

Its really a matter of personal preference. Personally, I hit a 2-iron better than I hit a 5-wood.
The 2-iron would be better on windy days because the ball doesnt go as high, but the 5-wood would be better if you are going for the green because the ball will go high and land soft.
Id go with the 2-iron if it were me, but I love long irons, so Im biased...
Youve really gotta ask yourself if you can consistently hit a long iron. If you cant hit your 3-iron all that well, go with the 5-wood.
