I'm going with Dutch's team.
The Marines were too flaky and relied too much on their firepower.

Team Dutch for sure.

Insufferable S.O.B.
Going with Dutch.
The Colonial Marines were all wiped out. Well not Hicks, but he was a gimp.

Hmmmmm. Smart gun(s) vs. mini gun? Interesting.
Dutch's team FTW. They were real operators, Colonial Marines (despite being "bad hombres" as described by Burke) could have been anyone that enlisted.
Besides, any military team that uses military jargon INCORRRECTLY as Hudson did when he yelled "FIRE IN THE HOLE" when there was a fire in the APC automatically loses. I blame Cameron.

I'm horrified at the disparaging remark about Hicks but otherwise I agree.
I never understood how his face got burned since you see Ripley is getting his body armor off... his face is fine.
That's too real. Aside from Hicks, no one really stuck out as truly capable.

Marines also didn't follow orders very well. Panicked easily.
Hudson was the biggest offender. Poncho got his ribs crushed and still didn't give up.
They also disobeyed orders and started firing in the coolant towers. Dutch's team did everything to the letter.

Semi off-topic, I was going to post something else in support of the Rescue Team (but decided not to) so I Wikied Aliens to see if I could get the correct quote I wanted to use. Man, I didn't know that James Remar was originally cast as Hicks and was replaced by Michael Bien a week after filming started.
I never knew that. I'm glad they went with what we got.

Even though I love Aliens WAY more than I do predator........Dutch's team every time. Special Forces will always beat out regular forces anytime. I mean Vasquez and Drake were only there to avoid Jail time. Who knows what the other marines choices were.

Hicks too "I like to keep this handy, for close encounters"
To his credit, a 12 gauge isn't going to go through any of the vital areas I don't believe.

Me too, on both counts. Remar is/was good in certain things, but Biehn was great as the quiet/reserved Hicks. Plus he and Cameron had history together from The Terminator.

Do you remember Afghanistan?
Well considering the Colonial Marines can just nuke Dutch from orbit I'll go with them.
