Please use GC If your analytes are volatile , HPLC If your analytes are non volatile, but both are reliable and very good. the term reliability is method specific not instrument.
please specify your scope and sample for better answer

Hi friends we can use HPLC for volatile also, but it is laborious and costly because we have to prepare mobile phase and the solvents which we use to prepare mobile phase are costly. If we see the GC no need to prepare the mobile phase and it is cost effective.
yes, i agree with Sivaleela. HPLC can also can be used for volatiles, but many of the volatile compound will not show good retention in HPLC, also GC is first come to the analytical field and then HPLC, GC is cost effective, universal for all the volatiles there fore people are saying so, at the same time non volatile also can be analyzed by GC by means of derivatization.
it is true, if your chromatography is interfaced with mass spect. detector; GC MS will have very excellent Library (NIST, Wily)and can be used universally irrespective of mobile phase, stationary phase and other method parameters but LCMS is highly limited in library of mass spectra and may be method specific.
it depends on application, in few cases GC is excellent but in more over cases HPLC is better. Method developement in GC is easier as compare to HPLC, but GC have some limitations.
GC is extremely reliable and sensitive for volatile samples HPLC is reliable for non volatile samples and HPLC separations are done at ambient temperature.
HPLC instrumentation is more sophisticated as compared to GC.
Both techniques are widely used for separations of a variety of samples- impurity profiling in drugs being one of the important areas of investigations in the pharma industry.
