I'll arrive at Lisbon airport at 6,45 PM next friday.

I don't have so much time and I have two streets:

1) take a taxi from airport to Alges

2) take a taxi from airport to Lisbon downtown and take some public vehicles and go to Alges

Which one is better?

obrigado, T.

I'd say take a taxi straight to Alges unless you have luggage. it won't cost you much more.
but the locals might know different.

well.. I guess it depends if you're gonna be in a hurry or not..

I would definitly advise you to skip the taxi and jump straight away into public transportations!

The right bus would be the 45! you can take that bus in a stop right in front of the airport and its last stop is Cais do Sodré which is the place where you'll be getting the train to Algés.

it's easy and much cheaper! it will take much more time also obviously.. about.. I don't know.. if it's before 16:30 the bus might take 40 minutes and the train will take about 10 minutes.. after that.. the bus will take maybe an hour.. and the train will still be 10 minutes! of course there's always the waiting time
there are trains leaving every 5 minutes or so.. as for the bus it's something like 20 minutes top!

the train station in Algés is (from what I've been told and I'm pretty confident it's true) right next to the venue!

oh.. this will cost you arround 2.50€

the taxi would be something would take about half an hour or a whole hour if it's after 16:30 and will cost you more than 8.00€ I think.

MotherDear explained it really well. If you want to get there faster take the taxi, but public transportation can save you some money.
