I say EaW because of the space battles.

Yes.  If this was about land battles EAW loses to just about anything.
Did you see that?  Know what that cost?  $58,000.  I mean, what a waste.  It wasn't even funny.  That's $58,000 that could have gone to curing leukemia.  Or.  muscular dystrophy.  Or... what does Michael J. Fox have?  That.  Alright, let's watch some damn cartoons.

I'd have to say equal as they both have their charms and failings(Air combat in GB and ground combat in EaW)

Stock vs. Stock, I say neither.  Both too many issues with the gameplay engine.

Comparing these two is like asking someone if they want a pile of crap or a turd sandwich. Sure one of them might have a slice of bread or two, but in the end it's still shit.

That's a bit harsh don't you think?

Though I find it to be quite true...
Only reason I even play EaW/FoC is because of this mod.

Yeah both games are kinda shit... the only thing that carries them is STAR WARS! and that's about it...
The games are really just bad and the mods were the only thing redeeming about them.

Do you have any GB mods that you would recommend?

The ones I used to use were SW GB EU(haven't been able to find it again) and one that just added new units and tweaked air combat just a bit, I forget it's name. Both of these were up about 6 years ago so I don't know if they're still around.

I'd go with both, mostly because of recreating the storylines of at least three of the movies (Revenge of the Sith in the case of Galactic Battlegrounds through the Clone Campaigns expansion, because with the scenario editor, the storyline of ROTS can be easily done, even if its unmodded).

Will have to say, Galactic Battlegrounds was fun in the sense I can just mess around with the scenario maker and make some interesting scenarios. Like clone armies of Han Solo ahoy! XD

But really, EaW is fun with the space combat (land battles are sometimes meh without a mod at play) and GB just can't top in that category.
