I value the ability to get the robot where you want it to be; either in a hurry or under duress. That is to say, I value the ability to either out run or out push an opponent to achieve the desired field position.
I also value the ability to maintain a desired field position once achieved.

I think it really comes down to preference and what you design for. There were plenty of teams who used single speed gearboxes to outmaneuver their opponents as well as play effective defense successfully, 118, 610, and 1986 off the top of my head.
