Serious question, which is worse: a week with nothing but broken shutters or a week with nothing but stuck apertures?

Last Tuesday alone I had three Nikon F2 shutters seize up and two Mamiya RB67 aperture blades stuck wide open, but yesterday it was all Canon AE-1 programs with mirror slap issues, so I am asking the room if you guys prefer the predictable mechanical failures or the random electronic gremlins that take twice as long to diagnose?

Stuck apertures are easier to fix blindfolded.

And here I am just happy when I remember which end of the camera to look through without smudging the lens.
