I have searched quite a bit for this and I am not happy enough with what I have read.
I also found these questions here:
Microdata vs. Microformats
What are the advantages of Schema.org's Microdata vs. Microformats et al?
I have a news/social network site in Spanish and wanted to know what would be the best format to implement.
Currently, I have both running. But I want to know if it is better to have only one, if so, which one would best fit my site? Or, can I keep both of them?
I want to target most search engines, not only Google.

Both are solutions for semantically annotating your content, but in very different ways:
Microdata extends HTML5 (e.g., by introducing new attributes like itemprop), while Microformats only uses existing HTML mechanisms (like class and rel attributes).
With Microdata, you can use almost any vocabulary (a popular one is Schema.org), with Microformats you can only use the Microformats that are listed in their wiki.
And yes, you can use both, Microdata and Microformats, for the same document/content. You could even use RDFa in addition, too (see also: Differences between Microdata and RDFa).
