I hate to be cryptic, but both. I have not seen Myron and Melvin run together, and those 2 guys are pretty equal (both will hate me saying that), and both pull like mad out of the corners. I think both can be equal given the proper gearing and timing adjustment. The ballistic seems to have a wider range of adjustment for timing (so you might be able to set it up for more torque or top end), but my gut says the SS motor has a litle more torque naturally.

Really, unless you are on a budget and looking for an SS because of cost, I would recommend the ballistic. Replacable stator and timing board alone makes it worth it in the off chance you fry either. The timing actually has marks so you can see how much you are adjusting it. It also lets you change stators if you decide to go to USGT or something else down the road without buying an entire new motor.
