It really depends on what the reason for the denial was and if the reason can be cured in a new application. You should have an attorney review your denial notice to advise you on the best course of action.

Q: is it easier to apply for a K1 or get married abroad then apply for a K3?

Neither is easier than the other. Both take about the same amount of time for completion. The difference is that if your fiance comes on a K-1 visa your fiance must still apply for a green card after you get married.
