Scent or music/sound?
Scent, definitely for me. I don't think anything brings back the feeling of the moment better than scent.

Which do you think actually triggers your memory more?

Definitely scent...even when I'm caught off guard and smell something, it takes me back to a memory...whether good or bad.
I think both are very powerful in terms of evoking memories. Scent might be just a tad stronger to me.
I used to save old perfume bottles in high school and college. Sometimes the scent wears off, but with a lot of them I can still take them out and feel transported back to a different time -- it's really neat! Sme with the smell of old school buildings and certain foliage.

Both. Songs and smells trigger memories for me.
Songs like End of the Road by Boyz II Men and It Must Have Been Love by Roxette immediately remind me of seventh grade.
The salty smell of the sea air reminds me of living on Kwajalein for six years and then later on college.
