Default battery charging/jumpstarting differences

Due to incorrect wiring (gauges to constant 12v instead of acc wire) my battery has drained in the past week while i've been on vacation. I have a battery charger at home. Does it make a difference whether i charge the battery or get a jump start? I'm not much of an electrical guy. Thanks in advance guys

Fix the wiring first.

Jump start or charging doesn't make too much of a difference.
If you jump start you will want to drive around or let the car run for a while (at least 10-15 minutes to charge the battery)
