RODI vs CARBON BLOCK FILTER

Just wondering what everbody's thoughts are on the two. Im going to be setting up my 90gal soon and i have an automatic top up setup filtered with a RODI unit. For my water changes i was going to be using a carbon block filter that is hooked directly up to my tap in my kitchen. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
