Probably most of the time direction is key, but speed has its moments too.
If chased by a lion, it matters how fast you go rather than where you end up.
(you need to be faster than the slowest person in the group you are with :)
Likewise if you see a bomb with a timer close to running out, getting away fast is more important than direction.
Terry Pratchett's character Rincewind sums this up well with his ideas that when running from something, it is always best to concentrate on the "away" part. If you do that, you find the "to" part tends to take care of itself.

it doesn't matter how fast you go as long as you get to the right place.
Without direction, speed is just getting nowhere faster.
Since (on the quantum level, anyway ) you cannot know both, who cares?
It totally depends on the situation.
