Working out better than tutorial?

Personally, i believe that you should do a hybrid of both, first looking at the trick, try and guess the handling of it, and then if you think you need to, watch the correct tutorial for confirmation.

If you ask which is better, i think Albert already said what is necessary, working it out makes your mind and eye better( and to an extend, your hands), and the paid tutorials( the ones you have to pay to get) gives you the magician's experience with it as well as the technique, which saves you around a month or more of messing around with it to master it( but sometimes the month of messing around with it isn't that bad, it sometimes give you a variation or application of the technique(s) that no one really ever thought about using).
