I do both in the same set. 10 crushers, then 10 presses. They're both good for putting mass on your tris. I couldn't tell ya which one's better...

Skull crushers, just aslong as you do them wright. Iv'e seen so many people do them wrong and wonder why their tri's are lagging.
The correct way is shown in Arnolds bodybuilding encyclopedia. if you don't have it i'll explain in more detail how to perform them properly.
later.

For overall greater mass close grip bench (not too close like hands touching which is wrong) with moderate to heavy weights. However, to me makes no sense doing one and not the other, so do both.

Both are equally good mass building exercises.

Not best..but better
IMO close grip bench press is better
Best IMO is overhead Dumbell Extension

skullcrushers hurt my elbows.. i stay away from those man. (even with light weight).. close grip doesnt hurt as much.. i can usually do em without a joint pain in my elbows... otherwise i stay away and do other stuff like pushdowns

I incorporate both, but close-grip bench has been a favourite of mine.....

IMO for triceps mass you can not beat close-grip bench press. But i also agree that you would stimulate more growth using both, but i would definately do close-grip bench first.
