Otterbox vs lifeproof iphone 5?

First off I'm not worried about price difference. I'm 14 and want a good case to protect my phone. It's between otter box defender and lifeproof. I need something that protects from drops from the counter, put of the car, biking etc. And something that if I drop it in the snow it won't hurt the phone or even if I spill a little soup or water on it. Your probably gonna say lifeproof but is it good for drops like it won't make my phone screen crack? Oh and dust protection. Also I'm worried that if I barely do anything to my lifeproof it will become not waterproof. What should I get And why

Lifeproof is good because it makes a phone waterproof. Otterbox, on the other hand, is good at protecting your phone when you accidentally drop it. It's up to you.
