1st: They do two different things. Watts keeps the rear end centered side to side throughout suspension travel. Sway bar helps control the reaction of change (steering input/road surface) from side to side.
2nd: Sway bars are not always necessary on vehicles that have excessive front end weight vs the rear. A sway bar on a vehicle like a truck can cause the ass end to kick out unexpectedly. They can also help control twist on a drag set-up. Choosing what is needed depends on weights & the intended use.
To get started, don't worry about one OR pick a set-up that can be adjusted.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
