If you plan on buying another house in the future bankruptcy is better than foreclosure.

Re: relinquishing house to mortgage company
A foreclosure is where your mortgage company takes back its collateral (the house) through legal means.
Relinquishing the house may be different that a foreclosure. If your mortgage company is willing to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, that is better for you as is a short sale. In both these situations, the mortgage company is working with you, somewhat, as opposed to forcing someting on you.
