The Avengers easily won Avengers-Defenders War II 20-6
The Legion of Super-Heroes surprised the not-so-merry mutants of the X-Men 17-10
The JLA staged an exciting comeback against the earth-2 JSA counterparts 15-12
The Fantastic Four showed those young Teen Titan punks that it was clobberin' time 18-9
Who ya got here, the Avengers or the Justice League of America?

Avengers has been and always will be MY TEAM SUPREME out of all the team options available. At least they were until Disassembled came along. I mean really, how can you go wrong with Lee, Thomas, Englehart, Busiek, Stern, Kirby, Heck, John/Sal Buscema, Adams, Buckler, Cockrum, Perez, Byrne and others providing decades of enjoyment and fun?!?

Much as I love em both, I like the rotation and diversity of The Avengers; agreeing with my brother-from-another-mother brutalis, this is all pre-Disassembled or as it's otherwise known, the death of the true Avengers.

Gotta go with the Avengers. In my opinion, one of the Top Five super-hero comics sequences is Avengers #1 to #4 and FF #25 and #26. And furthermore, there's bunches of great Avengers stories, with art by Don Heck, John Buscema and George Perez!
I like the JLA well enough, but the first thing that pops into my mind when I think of the League is JLA #60 with Zazzala the Queen Bee and that great scene where Batgirl is grabbing tiny Flash and using him as a weapon to hit Hawkman. It's not quite the same.

Yeah, I love the JLA, they've had several great incarnations (Satellite era, Giffen/DeMatties era/Grant Morrison's JLA) but I think the Avengers have had the longest run of (mostly uninterrupted) greatness of any group, from Roy Thomas's stuff in the late 60's up through #297 in 1988, basically 20 years of greatness, or near-greatness. So my vote goes to the Avengers.
