i would hve to say that the brutes may be more powerfull but they are probably slow and stupid, while the elites are faster and smarter so i would go with elites
it's a tie right now, and i would agree with a tie if they fought each other.
eleits are better because they're smarter than the brutes
brutes don't have to hide behind energy shields
