Your answer explores the two ends of the problem the best.


Then I say count the green ones because I have a better chance of determining my counting error. If there is a 0.01% chance I have a counting error, then I will not necessarily have a miscount with the reds. With the greens I will get several errors which will let me know the error in my counting algorithm.
