Default Hand quilting vs. machine quilting

Finally I'm at the last stage of quilting. And the next question has
arisen currently what type of quilting should I choose?
Hand quilting definitely takes double time as my stitching far away
from being both neat and nimble.
However, I’ve found that during machine quilting I manage to
pull the material so hard towards the stitch end, even basting
can’t help me to avoid waving on the end.

Could you point me out my basic mistakes? ThanX in advance.

Sounds like you need more machine quilting practice, but on a small piece.
Practice is boring, but it pays off. You need to reach a point where your
hands move the fabric automatically at the right pace for the speed of the
needle. When you don't have to think about that any more, then you can
concentrate on the weight of larger pieces.

And hand quilting takes just as much practice. Be willing to take the time
it takes.
