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
