To choose rebuild or reorganize index process first you need to control index fragmentation status. Execute the code below, SQL Management Studio.
-------------------
Use AdventureWorks
GO
SELECT
ps.object_id,
i.name as IndexName,
OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(ps.object_id) as ObjectSchemaName,
OBJECT_NAME (ps.object_id) as ObjectName,
ps.avg_fragmentation_in_percent,
ps.page_count
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(), NULL, NULL , NULL, 'LIMITED') ps
INNER JOIN sys.indexes i ON i.object_id=ps.object_id and i.index_id=ps.index_id
WHERE avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 5 AND ps.index_id > 0
ORDER BY avg_fragmentation_in_percent desc
---------------------------------------
If the value in "avg_fragmentation percent" column for index is grater than 30 the you should use rebuild else use reorganize.
Rebuild Code
ALTER INDEX [Index name]
ON [ObjectSchemaName].[ObjectName] REBUILD WITH (ONLINE = ON)
----------------------
Reorganize Code
Use AdventureWorks
GO
ALTER INDEX [Index name]
ON [ObjectSchemaName].[ObjectName] REORGANIZE
---------------------------------------
Note : Online index operations can only be performed in Standard or Enterprise edition of SQL Server.
--------------------------------------------------------
You can create a SP by using the code below for automaticly reorganize and rebuild indexes.
CREATE PROC [INDEX_MAINTENANCE] @DBName VARCHAR(100)
AS BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE
@OBJECT_ID INT,
@INDEX_NAME sysname,
@SCHEMA_NAME sysname,

[OBJECT_ID] INT NULL,

[AVG_FRAG] float
)
SELECT @RebuildCount=0,@ReOrganizeCount=0
--Get Fragentation values
SELECT @command=
'Use ' + @DBName + ';
INSERT INTO #tempIM (OBJECT_ID, INDEX_NAME, SCHEMA_NAME, OBJECT_NAME, AVG_FRAG)
SELECT

WHERE avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 5 AND ps.index_id > 0
and ps.database_id=DB_ID('''+@DBName+''')
ORDER BY avg_fragmentation_in_percent desc

Use the code below for calling SP
exec master.dbo.INDEX_MAINTENANCE 'DBName'
