I am getting back into workign out and I wanted to know which weights are better. Free or machines?
Answer:
I'm thinking free weights as you can do them in any direction
I think machines will better

The difference is that with free weights, you have use your stabilizer muscles more to keep the weight going where you want it to, as the bar doesn't follow a fixed path (as with machines).Get someone to teach you different exercises to do with free weights. Machines are OK if you are starting out, but free weights have a better "transfer" of strength to real life.
You have less chance of hurting yourself with machines.
The difference is free weights work the secondary muscles and the machines work only the prime movers or main muscles. That means that the machine you only move the weight you do not support it. If you want a better work out use free weights. If you are alone and need a spotter then use the machines if a spotter is not available.
Definitely free weights. They make your muscles work a lot harder than machines. Machines are too structured, and do some of the work for you. I started using purely free weights and my results have improved out of sight! Good luck!
