I'd rather have neither. As a matter of fact, I wish they would outlaw parties. That way we would have to look at each candidate for what they stand for instead of voting straight down party lines. Then we wouldn't have any trouble figuring out these stupid bills that each side keeps trying to pass and block. It would also be great if congress were set up like parliment where at anytime during their term they could be ousted with a vote of no confidence. And could you imagine a government with term limits and no lobbiest?
