bp_before_activity_add_parse_args vs. bp_activity_content_before_save

Which one is better for filtering content of blog posts activity entries? Considering that posts can be updated?
bp_parse_args only records first time and doesn’t update an activity entry content for blog components entries while bp_activity_content_before_save does both it seems.

Is it necessary to use both?
