Do herbs grow better outdoors or indoors during the Southern Alaskan summer?

I just bought a bunch of herbs, and I can't decide whether to plant them outside or inside. I live in Southern Alaska, so I'm not sure whether they would thrive outdoors or indoors. It could be warm enough to grow them outdoors (it got almost to 70 degrees last week!), but it gets rather chilly sometimes, especially when the wind blows.
