Why one or the other?  Defense in depth is your friend.  I would suggest updated and segmented.

@denbesten   Thank you for the correction.  There is no solution to this once a worm is released into the wild, if IoT is not updated i.e. firm, hardened and secured - no matter if it is monitored, segmented or segregated it will still be prone to old threats.
