Ideally, you’d have both. Light cav to mobilize on your flanks and draw away units, harass their lines and break cohesion...and then heavy cav to punch through.

This is the correct answer. Same as in football. It all you have is light, you can be over powered at the front. If all you have is heavy, you can be out flanked and pinned down.

I would choose light simply because with mobility on your side you can dictate the battle and decide when you will fight and when you will run. Once you have the enemy at a disadvantage you can attack quickly and as I said if you are losing the retreat would be easier. At least that's how I see it.
