If against an opponent with a functional military-industrial base, I'd want to be neither.
I feel like the next major war will be swarms of Slaughterbots[1] but with thousands of anti-materiel drones, as well as the hundreds of thousands of anti-personnel ones.
If you can't achieve a near-hermetic control of the airspace, anything outside, and much inside is minutes from bring speared by jets of molten metal.
And even then, the cost of intercepting them is far higher then the cost of sending multiples until the anti-drone ammunition runs out (and meanwhile any electronic warfare emitter is being hammered by radiation-seeking weapons).
