EPA and DHA are necessary and I would not be happy to recommend DHA alone in most cases.In pregnancy and old age DHA is very important but as a general rule EPA is the one most needed thoughout life.Sometimes DHA is described as the hardware of the brain (which e.g. is low in Alzheimers) while EPA is the software. EPA and DHA are essential as building them up form alpha linolenic acid is very difficult.
