Both are used: git-import-orig is used to import new upstream source. 
git-import-dsc is used to import older(!) full packages, whether or not 
that includes new upstream source or not.

If you mean that you have some older packages lying around that you want 
to inject as basis for our future collaborative work, then yes, use 
git-import-dsc for that.

If you mean that you already have built the package that you intend to 
upload in the future to Debian, then no - don't use git-import-dsc for 
that, as we might spot some improvements before actual final release :-)
