As per my understanding F5 validate the VIP setting as per defined configuration (Top to Bottom). In that iRule comes prior then policies. So, I will go with iRule first.
But both has unique feature...
- Local Traffic Policies are faster if performance is an issue
- iRules are more flexible and you can get help from DC people

In your setup could be traffic match per policy condition.
For support events such as HTTP_REQUEST & HTTP_RESPONSE; LTM policy evaluation occour before iRule. This means that's possible to write iRule to override an LTM policy decisions.
