I think the characters are more important.
I can't stand anime with trashy characters even when they have a good story but I can enjoy anime with a trashy story if it has great characters

depends. A comedy or slice of life anime for example doesn't really need a good plot if a plot at all, good characters will carry the show just fine.
In reverse if the plot & setting element are very important and well done, average characters won't be a problem for the show to be very good. Example would be Madoka. Madoka's characters are honnestly nothing to work home about. But the plot keeps us busy in a very nice way so it doesn't matter.
Other examples would include for example battle royal oriented shows. If lots of named characters keep dying, there's no way they'll have the time to be well developed, that's not the purpose of the show.

Someone mentioned GoHS and I also think GoHS has lots of interesting characters, but plot was $hit af

Definitely good characters for me. It's not like reading a book where you're focused more on the plot. In an anime, even though the story is basically non-existent good character dynamics and relationships can carry it a long way (then again, I guess you can call this good plot but whatever).

It'll be characters because it's the one that are giving life on a show.

Good characters indeed.

So that the characters can decide their own plot, which is far greater than a stupid plot forces adorable characters to do stupid things.

Good characters can salvage a lackadaisical plot, on the other hand a good plot can work with poor characters but without that attachment to the characters it falls short. Characters.

to me they go hand in hand but i guess i can continue watching an anime for the plot even if the characters aren't interesting

Both, but the characters and their interactions are obviously the most important things.
