If you're talking about modern Japanese, neither is natural outside of a very short list of fossilized expressions, which themselves are only natural in a very short list of circumstances.
If you want to say my, the most natural way to do so in everyday modern Japanese is:
- 私【わたくし】の
- 私【わたし】の
- 自分【じぶん】の (literally "one's own", very context dependent)
- 僕【ぼく】の
- 俺【おれ】の
These are roughly listed in order from most polite to most casual.
