Clones are better because they are stronger, compared to the driods which are a pile of junk.

"But seriously, I think the whole Clone v. Droid was part of Palpy's plan. He needed to know which was better so he would have an effective army when he took over"
I disagree with that. Palpatine already knew that droids would be ineffective to carry out his ultimate plan to eradicate the Jedi after witnessing their dismal failure on the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo. This is why he set the plan for clones into effect soon afterwards, also mapping out groundwork for a Seperatist threat lead by his new apprentice to warrant what would appear to necessitate an ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. Under his charade as Supreme Chancellor, he could never utilize the droid army of the Seperatists to take over the Reoublic and eliminate the Jedi Order. With the Republic Army, all was at his command. This was his plan from the beginning, utilizing the clone army to his own nefarious end.

I liked the Clones more. They were better disiplined and more coordinated in their battle strategies.

Droids.
Sure, Clones can think. Still, if you pitch 50 smart guys with tactics against 500 guys who are retards, i still think the 500 would win.
Battle Droids are weak. That is true, but they are plentiful and make good basic infantry. Super Battle Droids are excellent. Play Republic Commando to find out.
Super Battle Droids are heavily armoured, and arent fragile like the Battle Droids. They can fire different lasers. From normal lasers to small missiles to three shots at a time.
Anyway, then there are Destroyer Droids (those that roll).
Their shields are really powerful, and their guns are fast. They are good enough to make Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan flee. Obvious, Droidekas are excellent, and so are Super Battle Droids.
Then we have also the large amount of different types of vehicles and stuff, that are mass produced too.
Homing Spider Droids, Hailfire Droids, AATs, MTTs, STAPs etc. Clones have their own special units like Delta Squad and ARC Troopers, but the CIS is better in the end.
The Republic forces win because they have Jedi too... but anyway. Clonetroopers are superior to Battle Droids, but a Clonetrooper doesnt stand a chance against a Super Battle Droid or a Droideka. Geonosians are part of the CIS too, and they've got pretty good technology. Their sonic blaster fire cannot be blocked although its relatively short range.
The Droid Control ships when blown up no longer have the droids deactivated. In a cut out AOTC scene a Droid Control ship is infiltrated by Jedi under Ki-Adi and Plo Koon and is deactivated. Battle Droids fight on.
So there

Both sides are awesome actually. The Droids are VERY powerful. They may not have independent thinking, but if you think about it the Clones don't either. They live and die for the Republic. Just because they can think a color is pretty, doesn't really mean much. Droids kinda look cooler in their various designs but of course the clones pull ahead with the organized tactics.

Droids, no doubt.
I love the design of the Battle Droid. They look so damn cool. Additionally, I love their voices.
I wish I owned a REAL Battle Droid. I could maybe teach it to do some chores or something. Maybe teach it to speak nothing but Yoda's dialogue from both trilogies.

the clones definitely. people may think droids are better because they're machines and more expendable, but considering there's over a million clones and you can always make more, even though they're humans to palpatine the clones are equally expendable. plus they're smart and stronger. they're made just to fight and follow orders pretty much. palpy knew they were better than droids. the only reason he made the seperatist droid army was so that he had an excuse to get the more powerful clone army for the replublic, which he'll of course now whipe out the seperatists with his superior clones and then turn the republic into the galactic empire.

I prefer the clones to the droids.
It seems that the droids(assaid before) cannot think too creatively.The standard infantry for the droid armies,the battle droids, are weak and not very intelligent. The only way they can really be used effectively is by deploying them in huge numbers. The super battle droids are a lot better than standrd droids due to their heavier armour and rapid fire blasters, but they too can't really think creatively. They only seem to fulfill the objective of killing. The droideka are the best the sepratists have to offer. Even without shields they seem to have some armour and they have four rapid fire blasters. When shielded they must be like walking gun turrets.
An advantage of using droids is that droids can be built much faster than clones can be grown. Also, some droids could be repaired or parts could be salvaged from destroyed droids.
The clones, IMO, are bette in most aspects. Clones have a much larger capacity to think. I'm sure as the clone wars progress clone troopers become more skilled due to experience during combat. Clone weaponary also seams superior to droid blasters, with an exception to the droidekas blasters. The blaster rifles most carry seem pretty powerful. When the clones are taking off from the arena,I think you see a droideka be destroyed by one shot from the DC-15 rifle. Also it seems clones can be deployed much faster than droids. Droids have to deploy those big carrier ships from space. Clones can deploy gunships from the hangars of the assault ships, so the attach can begin even before the assault ship lands.Also , clone commanders would be able to employ tactics better than trade federation viceroys and Intergalactic bankers.

If a DC-15 strike could take down a Droideka, then the Separatists would lose in a month. Theirs guns arent that powerful. The Droideka must have taken enormous punishment anyway.
Sure, Clones can think creatively. How is it going to help them take out an advancing Droideka, or Super Battle Droid or whatever?
Battle Droids are weak, true, but they have numbers and things such as poison gas etc wouldnt affect them either.
Super Battle Droids have the purpose of killing as said. Thats why they do their job... obviously theyre not programmed to perform a tea party.
Droidekas. Excellent, all that needs saying. If Droidekas can send Jedi running its obvious that they are superb.
Besides, Clonetroopers need to be fed, they need sleep and they feel pain. Droids dont feel pain. Shoot a Super Battle Droid in the arm - no effect, no whincing.
Shoot a Clone in the arm. Screams, rolling, death.

When you see the droideka get destroyed in the film, I think its because the clone hit it in a weak spot, but meh...
What I meant about the super battle droid is that they just walk into battle and just blast anything human. They don't really think at all.
The droids, in my oppinion, don't employ any brilliant tactics at all, they just tend to send as many as possible into battle.

If they have someone to direct them, he can do the thinking and plan the tactics. The Droids dont need to think what they are commanded to do. They do it.
If a leader plans something and gives the orders, they follow, and so they do.
