Both make a loss on the resource that they use. But it's a trade-off for incredible effectiveness, mass witch for 3 starring box bases (2 star minimum) and drags for the 100% 2 star.
Then there are the inbetweens that you profit with every resource like the standard gowipe and golaloon. However those aren't as reliable as the 2 strategies listed above of course (Base design does matter however).
Perhaps you would consider using a different type of attack if you feel that you current strategy is too heave on DE? I personally alternate between mass witch and drags depending on whether DE or elixir is scarce.
