The Old/Galactic Republic before the rise of the Empire, or the Citadel Council?

Republic/Empire:
+ Survived conflicts against the Sith empire, Mandalorians, Eternal empire, the Confederacy, the Rebel alliance, New Republic (Canon and EU)
+ Jedi and Sith assistance
+ Organized military
+ Just as planned Chancellor/Emperor
- Cheaply cost fighters (Because quantity over quality)
- Power play in politics
- Can't cover a hole on TWO Death stars
- Storm troopers can't hit a side of a barn, but Clone troopers and First Order storm troopers can.
and some others

Citadel Council:
+ Bangable aliens (there better be a Turian waifu in the next game)
+ Cultural and racial diversity
+ Military assistance from council races
- Secrets and lies (Prothean beacon and VI in the Temple of Athame, continuing to sterilize the Krogan and planting a bomb on Tuchanka after the Genophage, and knew about the Reapers after the first battle of the Citadel)
- Stuck up politicians
- Treat humans (Before becoming a council race and onwards), krogan, and quarians second rate.
and others

Bangable aliens

Star Wars has that too. Togruta and Twileks.

(there better be a Turian waifu in the next game)

Agreed.

+ Cultural and racial diversity

I disagree. It's kind of a subplot that the cultures of Citadel space have homogenized and stagnated, causing friction with the humans who are all so excited and full of new ideas.

Third Option Best Option.
