Both are!
Both mean exactly the same thing, it's interchangeable :)

Both are correct but they do have slightly different meanings, which native speakers usually ignore.
Need to ... means something *should* be done, it's necessary or very important. Usually translated as "tener que" or "haber de."
Have to ... is the same as "must." It's an obligation, required (by law, for example), or it's not optional. Usually translated as "deber."

They are both the same, though the second one (Do we have to) sounds more like a complaint or a whiny kid.
