I do like them both, it is so cool to watch what both teams can do. You have to tip your hat off to them 
I voted for the T-birds. I grew up watching them. My mother use to date one of the crew chiefs so we got to go watch from the flight line as a kid.

I have worked with them both and they are both Great in thier own way, any Pilot that can fly the Plane 12" from each other are really cool Pilots and I wish I could be in the Seat when they do this. Yes the Angels can land on Carriers but then again that is what they do as Navy Pilots. if you go to the Angels Photo Poster web site you will see what I mean flying 12" from each other. I still like Fat Albert and that is run by the U.S. Marines Flight Team that support the Angels. To me any Pilot that does this type of Flying is one of the Best Pilots. It takes more then guts. Just think if we could get the G force out of our HHr's then we would know what the Pilots are going through. Man that would be really fast.

I love going to air shows, and attend several each year. Both are amazing, and put on great shows. I like the F/A 18 Hornet a bit better than the F-16, so in that respect I like the Blue Angels, however when it comes to the arobatics, both are incredible. I can only imagine the skill and courage it takes to fly that close to another jet, and perform the stunts they do.
