I think most of use will go for quality, and I do believe this is what sets us as part from commercial growers. I do have to say that when I am choosing to hitch strain to grow I look at 3 things 
- High THC - High yield - lineage 
I believe I can answer your question with a question. If you had $100 and you could buy an ounce of descent weed or half ounce of really good weed?
