Of the two, STEP is more widely universal as "everyone" can read STEP files. Also, as said, FreeCAD can import and run SCAD and then can do things like add fillets and report or even, generate code for milling. I think SCAD is great for making parts that can be algorithmically defined. But I'd hate to have to make an organic shape like a automotive body or a power tool. o it's good to be able to move designs between tools. STEP is the best for that.
