when is it better to use recrystallization vs. sublimation techniques in lab? I know they both result a purer compound, but I am confused on when one technique is better than the other.

I don't think its a matter of what is better but which is more convenient. For example, one material may be much more volatile than the other or you may have trouble finding the proper solvent but sublimation doesn't have that problem.
