I want to break up some ground prior to seeding (broadcasting) pasture grass. Am I better off using a disc or rotary hoe? Under what conditions is each usually used?

Thanks

do you mean a roto-e-hoe (spelling) or a tiller. a roto-e-hoe is just for loosing up a seed bed that has already been planted and got a packing rain on the ground and the seed can't break through. a roto-e-hoe want have enough weight on unplowed ground to penetrate to do you any good. without being there i'd run a disk without much angle in it and not let it cut more than a 1 and 1/2 deep, sow the seed and use a good drag harrow to cover the seed with. if you want to do it right rent a drill made to reseed pastures with and cross hatch the ground.

Jack: A lot depends on your soil and moisture conditions. If you already have some grass and are just wanting to thicken the stand, I'd go with a heavy chain harrow, spikes down, broadcast the seed then follow with the rotary hoe. If you do that early enough that you still have good moisture, it will work.
