Choosing between a Warhammer and Stargate command

A command choice weighs Warp travel, crew access, comfort, automation, and the particular hull and era available.

Question

Would the panel rather command a Warhammer 40K warship or a Stargate battlecruiser, and why?

Short answer

Several choose Stargate for safer travel and a manageable crew, while the Warhammer preference depends on a comfortable, automated ship or a peaceful assignment. There is no unanimous choice.

Notes

The Stargate preference rests on avoiding Warp travel and commanding a ship small enough to visit its departments and know its crew. The opposing answer objects that Stargate ships can be uncomfortable, limited, and vulnerable to destruction. It also challenges the assumption that every Warhammer command is equally dangerous: a fully automated Tiamat-class destroyer or a Lunar-class cruiser in a peaceful place and period offers a different prospect. Stargate's defenders specify Asgard shielding and beam weapons when choosing their ship. The disagreement therefore depends on the exact vessel and circumstances as well as the setting's general reputation.
