What is the difference between a VPN and a Tor Socks proxy on public wifi?

I seek protection against MITM & snooping of VPN or Tor proxy traffic on public WiFi.

So, what are the different security impacts of each of these 2 solutions:

• Using a VPN (like Proton VPN) to connect to the internet while using public WiFi (I use NetGuard VPN as my firewall).
• Using a Tor Socks proxy (Orbot) to connect to the Tor network and use that for my internet needs while on public WiFi.

I am interested in what an attacker could do if they have access to the public wifi access point.
