having played with both, I would say that you would want to use PS over Fireworks.
On PS, effects are easier to find and manipulate to your liking; fireworks gives you similar options (up to a point), but the menus can be so awkward to navigate that it can give you a migraine (note, this is being said by a person that used fireworks exclusively for three months before finding PS and nearly died from being overcome with relief at the ease with which he could make things).
The other thing about fireworks is that it has less "frills" (brushes and the like) which, if you are heavily into graphic design but not especially great at using pen tools, can come in handy (big time). Even if you do use the pen tool well, though, you have more options for playing with the shapes you make on PS than fireworks.
Hope that helped.
