They are not really the same thing – with stored procedures, your database logic resides inside the database. Prepared statements basically avoid re-parsing queries if they are called multiple times – the performance benefit can vary greatly.
The choice to use one or the other is really dependent on your specific situation. I don’t really use stored procs anymore as I like having all of my logic in one place.
