Tried to post here earlier today so here goes again: armies tend to be some blend of bog-standard troops and a few captains/heroes/characters/monsters. So you are always going to see a bit of both other than if you opponent is mad.
So, the poll options really don't suit the reality of the game, in my opinion, so I cannot cast a vote.

To be honest I love just ploughing through weak forces with heroes like Aragorn but you'd really need a mix.

I really like both, but really love following the sucess story of a single goblin as he cuts his way through three elves before meeting his grizzly end.

I love taking an army of 5 trolls (Four Mordor and a Cheiftain) in a 500 point battle

Very hard hitting
But for some reason I am always out numbered...

A Mix if always the best way, a Core of hard hitting tough guys and plenty of cannon fodder.
If you use only Hard hitters it means each loss will effect you greater as it is a larger part of your force. Losing a little guys makes no difference, (and sometimes can be a game winner, thowing a string of cannon fodder at a big hero can tie them up and effectively take them out of the game.)
