Mixing pre – and probiotics as part of a symbiotic formulation is a promising move to support immunity in the supplement market.

One or more of the pre-and probiotics working independently in a formulation to generate health benefits. - SYNERGY
Prebiotics are selected specifically to amplify the benefits of the chosen probiotic, yielding a more significant benefit.
Both are good depending if the purpose is to cover a broad spectrum of benefits or to generate a specific synergy in the microbiota.
