Anwar,
It's important to get the terms right here.
SQL Reporting Services is not the same as SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
SQL Reporting Services refers to an Azure service that lets users develop reports in the cloud. However, it is being retired in Oct. 2014, so you'll want to stay away from that.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is the reporting module that is part of SQL Server. This is a sophisticated tool that lets developers create and publish reports that users can access through various methods. It has schedule and refresh capabilities,
and can leverage SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). You'd most likely use SSRS if you're creating sophisticated reports and queries that you don't want your users creating.
SQL Report Builder is a report creation tool designed for users who want to stay in Microsoft Office. It can be used by developers or end users.

Both environments let you create reports that can be shared (published) on a report server or through SharePoint.
So it's really a matter of what you're most comfortable using.
Hope that helps.
