Should Dreadbore be played or Hero's Downfall?

For my deck, I use four Hero's Downfall and two to three Dreadbore . Seeing as I don't use many burn spells, I rely on kill spells. In my deck however, I could go either way. I can see how Dreadbore would be the better option, seeing as it costs one less, but it's a matter of choice and whether or not you plan on using a lot of burn spells or not. If you are, Hero's Downfall would be the better choice. If you wanted to look at my deck and see how I'm running it, feel free. I went 4-1 at FNM and grabbed 2nd place with it. Bloody Death

Personally, I prefer a slight mix between the two. Although, it depends on the deck. If you're running a Rakdos Burn style deck, I would probably say spring for Hero's Downfall so that you're not tapping out on your turn. For Rakdos Aggro, Dreadbore is probably better so that you might be able to go turn 3 Dreadbore + Rakdos Cackler or something like that.
From what I'm seeing of recently successful Rakdos lists, the common split is 3-1 in favor of Dreadbore (or 3-2 if you find yourself needing extra copies)
