I will vote for better quality. Here are a few reasons:


 * 1) 1) Lets look at it from a pretty obvious standpoint. If you're in Mordor, wanting to go out and kill a certain town of Gondorians (which may or may not be run by your brother :^) Would you take some orcs or some black uruks? Perhaps an olog hai? Spider riders even? Orcs will die too quickly, they don't do enough damage, and even 3v1 orcs against a gondorian soldier will lose. Now, Black Uruks from mordor will view a better result. They have better armor, hit harder, and in my opinion, look cooler. Throw in an olog-hai or two, and the town is nothing but ruins.


 * 1) 2) Now lets look at this: If you will be fighting someone else (a player, say) and they have quantity and you have quality troops. Elite forces will be better at fighting off more troops. An elite unit (an elf soldier or cavalry) will always destroy an orc. And, they can fight and win against MULTIPLE orcs, so if every ranger/elf/dwarf/gondorian can kill an average of... 3 orcs? 2 at the VERY least, you can fight an army 2 or even 3 times bigger than your own, and most likely come out as the victor.


 * 1) 3) Just because you have quality, doesn't mean you cant have quantity as well. You can have 50 riders of rohan, they work better than 50 orcs XD


 * 1) 4) Overall, unless you are EXTREMELY heavily outnumbered (10v1) quality will almost always win. Another very important factor however, is who you're fighting, who are your troops, and what kind of fighting/tactics you are doing and using. Guerilla warfare? Siege? Hit-and-run? Rangers v.s uruk-hai? Dwarves or mirkwood elves?

Hope this was some help!
