A DSLR will give you much better image quality, high quality high ISO shots, and versatility. The downside is that it takes a lot more photographic knowledge to use, is much more expensive, and heavier and bulkier to carry.

Based on your short question, you would probably be better off with a P&S. It will do pretty much anything you want, it's smaller and simpler to use, and requires little, if any, post-processing. The image quality won't be as good but you have to specifically look for the differences in most cases. High ISOs are usually pretty bad.Try them out at a store and get one with a short shutter lag. IS is also a good option.

I have both a P&S and a DSLR and use each one about equally depending upon what I'm working with.
