[Star Wars/Halo] Should I choose a 4 man team of Clone Commandos or a single Spartan II?

I am just finishing up some paperwork before my ship pulls out of spacedock, and I have been ordered to take on additional manpower to supplement my ships complement of marines and security forces. I have the option to choose a 4 man team of Clone Commandos on loan from the Galactic Republic, consisting of a sniper, an engineer, a demolitions expert, and a commander. Or a single Spartan II on loan from the UNSC in Mark VI Mjolnir Armor. So what are some of the pros and cons of these two groups and which should I choose?

I'd choose the commandos.  Four men hit harder than one, even if he is better than any one of them, or even any two of them. Two men can do things one man can't, and four men can do more than either. That and there are plenty of things that'll kill any man, no matter how good or tough he is. A big enough gun or your average AT weapon will kill most any infantryman, and a big gun doesn't care who it kills.
  
The two are comparable in terms of training and expertise. Both are raised for combat, and trained to an extremely high standard; war is their sole purpose. The Clones were trained by the best Mandalorian mercenaries in the galaxy, the Spartans were trained by the UNSC's best. The clone commando's trained for the first 10 years of their lives before deployment, the Spartans were trained from childhood. In terms of training, they're comparable.

The Spartan has an major advantage in his alterations. The Spartan has heightened reflexes, increased muscle growth, sharper eyesight, hardened skeleton, and enhanced muscle function. The clones are genetically superior to most human soldiers, being cloned from an excellent soldier, and gene-tweaked to emphasize a personality ideal to a soldier, but they are physically inferior to a Spartan. The Spartan is tougher, stronger, and faster than the clones, but no less loyal, brave, or aggressive. This is what makes the Spartan a better soldier than a clone commando.

The commando's armor system is comparable to the Mjolnir in durability, and also incorporates a personal shield. However, the Mjolnir armor gives the Spartan a further advantage in strength, as it is powered, while the clone's armor is not. Both armors are effective against the weapons commonly used against them, solid slug and energy based, and offer great protection against the elements. They are also spaceworthy, and incorporate a zero gee maneuvering system. The two armor's systems are otherwise fairly similar. It is worth noting that although the clone's armor system incorporates a medical system that brings his survivability up a bit, this does not give him an advantage over the physically tougher Spartan.

Their weaponry is similar as well, although the clone commando's weapon is more versatile; he carries only one, but it uses attachments to serve as both an assault rifle, a sniper rifle, and an light anti-tank weapon. The Spartan uses any weapons from the UNSC, but he's limited in what he can carry to about 2 guns and a sidearm. The clone can carry 3 and a sidearm.

The Spartan is an augmented elite soldier, the commandos are elite soldiers. Their weapons and equipment are mostly similar, although the clones are more flexible. You don't need to worry about either one fucking up or breaking in combat. The Spartan is a superior soldier to any one of the clones, but together they're superior both in force flexibility and combat effectiveness, and if one dies you aren't fucked. Take the clones, unless you've got a job that no human, or small group of humans, can hope to do, no matter how highly trained. If so, you'll need a superhuman soldier, and the Spartan II fits the bill.
