Win what? Both are terrible approaches to passwords.
Free network pwnage with every Posty Boi.
Until I get the password file or SAM file (no, not that SAM) and then crack all those kick ass, secure 10 character passwords fairly fast and instead of just having access to the secretary's Office 365 account, I now have access to everything because people thought characters and numbers really made that much of a difference with entropy. On my networks I always enforce at least 15 character pass phrases. It used to be 12.
Something I'm sure most people here have seen but still applicable:
https://xkcd.com/936/Saying a password is "complex" just means "more likely to be written down", it doesn't mean "secure." Length, especially with slightly mispelled words or replacing a letter with a number, in order to avoid compound dictionary attacks does a whole hell of a lot better. It's easier to remember: purplem0nkeedishwasher than it is to remember S!kl33S(I@ and it's immensely more secure. 10 character passwords are peanuts, no matter what characters they have in them, especially with GPU crackers. It's basically obsolete advice.

Heh ... I remember seeing a well dressed fellow with stickies on his laptop while waiting for a flight at the airport in Edmonton. Curiosity got the best of me so I took a boo while I took a gander by and sure enough it wasn't hard to see that it was his username and passwords.
SMH
Nice suit not so smart.

@dafyre I'm generally right in the middle of that diagram. But I'm allowed to be pissed off about it when I get stupid peanut gallery comments like "oh wow that was fast".
You said in your text message to me "HELP I HAVE A CLIENT. . . am I supposed to wait an hour on that kind of issue. . ." SMH

@dafyre I'm chaotic good.

@dafyre Split between neutral good, lawful neutral, neutral, chaotic neutral,neutral evil.

I'm sure that I've hit them all.
My new mantra is 'big picture, please'
I use it almost every day right when someone cuts me off on the way to work. -

Me too. Most days, I swing towards chaotic neutral though.
Edit: If you don't have at least one person that you suspect will bring you goodies for helping them, you need to find a new place to work, lol.
