There are many styles that comprise Shaolin MA, wing chun is just one style. It would be difficult to answer your question unless I know the specific styles. In general, most shaolin fighting styles are internal with long stances and generally will take about 8-10 year to be truely proficient. Wing chun is a close range fighting style which can be mastered in far les time. I know these are not that detailed but maybe others will fill in the gaps.
If the question is what is better or more practicle it will depend on what you want out of training (i.e to learn a traditional style, just to fight, sport, etc).
