Absolutely the DEET.
I recommend Deep Woods Off Sportsman. That's the little blue pump spray, not the green pump or the green spray can. In fact, avoid the can alltogether, as it has much less DEET than you really need.
When I went camping with my happy new-age hippy friends, they wore than natural crap and scratched their welts, while I wore the Off with extra DEET which is like one of those personal force-fields from the David Lynch Dune ... seriously, the bugs would be flying in and about two inches out suddenly become disinterested and fly off in another direction. Of course, it would have been cooler if they hit the DEET barrier and drop straight to the ground like Wile E. Coyote hitting a canyon wall, but you can't have everything. So what if the stuff causes birth defects down to the seventh generation of people who walk past you while you're wearing it. You won't get bit by any bugs.
