I think vampires have been done more than werewolves as the main focus (Buffy, Twilight, etc), so if you're looking for something more individual, I'd say werewolf.
I think nowadays in particular, we like to see everything and everyone as redeemable. Way back when these monsters were first created, there was more black and white, less gray in terms of morals. Heck, Little Red Riding Hood was warning little girls to stay away from strange men so they didn't get "eaten". Today's society seems, as a whole, to chafe under strict morals. We prefer to see that black isn't REALLY black...it can totally be gray.

Of course, I could be totally off base with that.
