Picking to win Einstein vs your field

Let's say you're an alliance captain in championships and it's alliance selection time. What do you guys think about picking robots that can win your field compared to picking robots to win Einstein? You could pick reliable robots that you are confident will be good enough to best anyone on your field, or you could pick robots who have the potential to score more points but are unreliable. For example a consistent cycler compared to a full court shooter or a 30pt-50pt climber that's unreliable, that only worked on the practice field, or just took a fall their last match and present a risk.

I believe both are valid strategies, what do you guys think?
