I’d argue stick is more practical. You’re already outdoors, stick gives you walking aid, brush clearing, spider web first defense, potential weapon. Even non perfect rocks are useful but a great stick is mikes ahead of a wonky one.
The stick seems less of a win. Its big and cumbersome once it outlives its usefulness or it breaks. The rock can provide longer but smaller returns, and can outlive your ancestry if taken care of.
I want the stick, but I know the rock is all around more practical.

The rock would make a better weapon than that stick.
Press X to doubt.
Stone has one use as a thrown weapon, and you must have accuracy. It could be used as a blunt instrument but that requires very close proximity.
Alternatively you can sharpen the stick, and have a length to keep things at bay.
