In my opinion, I would think go to university and transfer.
I think studying at uni would be much easier as the times are more flexible and less strict.
School is the consistent 9am-3pm which frankly i am totally sick of.
If you actually liked school then you can repeat if you don't mind, but i reckon getting to know the uni environment would be great.
Because you also cannot guarantee you will improve that much for the next years cut-offs. If you don't make it once again it would feel very bad.

It all depends really. On the one hand, TAFE offers you a chance to do it all again and improve from this year, but you will be a year behind everybody from this year (if that worries you).
Also, if you do your HSC again, and you dont have a lot of discipline, it can end up being a waste of a whole year.
On the other hand, there's transfering through uni. This can be good as it means u dont lose a year, although you have to put up with doing something u may not have an interest in, and for some uni's they have a certain GPA that you must obtain before becoming eligible for a transfer.
So, there are a lot of things you need to be aware of, and it is not an easy decision to make.
But, if you want my personal opinion, me myself, I couldnt go back and do my HSC, even if it were through TAFE. So I would choose to transfer through another course.

im in the same situation as u, but im choosin to go to uni and then transfer(fingers crossed), i dunno if i can do a whole year of the hsc again. and i learnt that ppl who do reapeat their hsc, only a small percentage significantly improve on their mark, but whateva u choose good luk!
hehe i improved by more than 50% 
umm i repeated at school since i had a low 40's UAI in 2002
if u went that bad and cant get into any course repeat
also rember if u do 1 year at uni then swap the next year to another course thats 1 years extra hecs fee....
