They both work fine for the tasks they're supposed to accomplish. Crop
rotation helps with plant disease and pest control and companion
planting can help with plant interactions(some pest control, some
helpful plant benefits etc.).

You should still rotate the location so pests in the soil don't have
access to the same plants in the same spots.

Squash bugs are terrible to have and they will get into your squash
(depending on where you live) and will come back every year. If you are in
an area that supports them, you have to rotate the crops, but put as much
distance between the first location, the second, and the third as you can.
