Undead RVD's "Robbers and Robbers" Edges
Pistol: The Glock 17 and Taurus PT92 pack the same number of rounds and power. Overall, the two are equal as hell. Shotgun: I don't know where you found the Mossberg's 100 meter range as it uses a realistic range of 40 meters. The Remington's 50 meter range sounds right, though, so the Remington beats the Mossberg but only barely. SMG: The Los Santos Crew's SMG appears as a mix of the MP5 and UMP. However, the UMP part is only a visual element and the two function identical. Overall, they are the same. Assault Rifle: The two guns perform identically so I find the two as equals.

Strategy: Of the two, I'm giving it to the Payday Crew. What keeps the Los Santos crew the win is that they lack discipline. You need to be careful and precise to make strategy perfectly. They are fairly sloppy and rely a lot on luck. Mitchael is temperamental. Franklin is experienced and Trevor is a drug-taking psychopath. I highly doubt they will work as perfectly together as the Payday Crew. Overall, The Payday Crew have the discipline to use their strategies properly.
 * EDGE: Payday Crew

Experience: While Traver and Michal are older than anyone else in this battle, the rest of the Los Santos crew are far behind. Franklin is smart but doesn't have that much behind his belt and the hired gun will be pretty useless in the long run. The Payday Crew have been working together for a longer time and have grown a good connection with each other. Experience as a whole is better than experience in part.
 * EDGE: Payday Crew.

Endurance: Both sides are only human but the Los Santos crew appear to be a little less in shape than the more fit Payday Crew. Add in the fact that the Payday Crew are more commonly seen wearing body armor and they win in endurance.
 * EDGE: Payday Crew

Intelligence: Franklin is a highly intelligent individual but the rest of the Los Santos crew are pretty immature individuals. Michael is by no means an idiot but he has been made to look like an idiot on more than one occasion while Trevor can be ingenious in some occasions but his headstrong nature commonly clouds this. The hired gun, however, is likely the least intelligent as he is only their as, well, a hired gun. The Payday Crew appear to know more than the Los Santos crew and have likely shared their skills amongst each other.
 * EDGE: Payday Crew

Creativity: Trevor and Micheal are skilled in thinking up weird and interesting ways to robing places and stealing valuable products, such as using knockout gas to knock out everyone in a large jewelry store to steal the jewels. The Payday Crew are very creative too. They are able to capture a very valuable prisoner by blowing up a major bridge and airlift the guy out like in Dark Knight, or when they were stealing money from a bunch of drug retailers by blowing out the roof and floor of a big, bomb proof vault and carrying it carried out via helicopter with a magnetic line-thingy (I don't know what to call it). Both sides are creative and I say it is even.
 * EDGE:Even

Brutality: The Los Santos team wins this easily. While Franklin has some heart in him and Micheal isn't entirely cruel, Travor's psychopathic and highly destructive nature trumps over all.
 * EDGE: Los Santos Crew

Overall: The Payday Crew wins it for me. They are more stratigic, more disciplined, somewhat more intelligent and relatively more professional. Also, I feel most people forget that the Payday Crew have more training behind them (Chain's U.S. Navy SEALs training and Dallas's time in the Mafia) trumps the Los Santos crew (Trevor twas in the air force but the rest are pretty untrained. Overall, the Los Santos crew's edge in brutality isn't enough to beat the better trained, and disciplined professionals that is the Payday Crew.

VOTE: THE PAYDAY CREW
