Network teaming VS bonding configuration

as I am understanding we can set on Linux configuration BONDING or network teaming

both approach support LAN fail over

if on the server we have the following up link

eth1
eth2

in BOND when eth1 is fail the eth2 will take action

so what should be the decision between - network teaming VS bonding configuration

Hope this helps.
