The best work out plan is this: find out your target heart range (usually around 160BPM for people our age). Play a few songs for warm up then see where your heart rate is after a round. If it's lower than before, play harder songs to bring it up. If it's getting TOO high (180bpm) play some easier songs to bring it back down.
If you don't want to go into that much detail, then time based is definitely better than calorie based. You can burn the calorie goal just by playing high step count songs. It's just like running. Running a mile doesn't benefit you if you run it in 10 minutes. It's better to take a 30 minute run, however far that is, than to set a distance goal, because as you get better, the distance will get easier and easier. Playing for an hour will only get easier if you play easier songs. I generally play 2 hours for my work out, while using my last game to do stuff like HVAM, Paranoia Survivor and exotic ethnic.
