Bonding vs Veneers/crown? Which option would be the best for the long term? How strong is dental bonding on a front tooth?

Paul in Austin
My front tooth is chipped in half. My dentist provided me with the option of bonding or a 3/4 crown on my tooth. Considering I am only 23, which option would be the best for the long term? How many years should I get out of dental bonding vs a 3/4 crown? How strong is dental bonding on a fron tooth?
