Both work, but "I need neither/nor" sounds more formal and is definitely more common in writing.

@Entei999 One more question. Would skipping the "either" in "I don't need either pants or shorts" make it sound better?

@Alxote Yes, "I don't need pants or shorts" sounds more natural. It's probably more common than neither/nor, but less formal.
