Based off extensive research, I'd say Navy because of Ice Man.

Interesting handle to start this topic.
So you pick Navy because you like Top Gun?

fighter pilots as a rule, have their shite together, most Navy and Marine fighter pilots, and I've worked tons of them, are pretty cool, sometimes you'll see a guy that's wrapped a little tight, air force fighter pilots are good shits too, but, in my opinion, because of the sheer numbers, a few more goobs(Scott O'Grady,) have the chance of falling through the cracks, I'm not including anyone shuffled through the program for PC reasons,

I don't know but it's been said that Air Force wings are made of lead.
I don't know but I've been told that Navy wings are made of gold.

Hornet driver checking in. 
Debates like this are pointless. I know plenty of top notch AF fighter pilots and plenty of top notch Navy and Marine fighter pilots. Nobody ever wins them all and we all have our good days and our "other" days. The Hornet with a Helmet Mounted Sight and Aim-9X has to be just about the best ACM platform ever built. I don't know how the F-22 guys do in the visual arena, never got to mix it up with them. Being able to "smoke everybody BVR before they even know you're there" is great in theory, it's just hard to do in the real world in a crowded battle space when it's hard to tell who's who. I can't wait until the advances of stealth technology turn it back into Dawn Patrol, guns only, he with the best eyeballs wins!
I will say that the boat thing is sort of a distinction. Yeah, they have ACLS, but they only do it at night, it only works sometimes, and you damn well better be able to land it yourself or be a really good swimmer!
