Swerve vs Wheeled Tank

My team may end up building and refining a drive train over the summer. The goal is to have a bullet proof and reliable design that we can learn from to make a better drive train suited for next year's game. The decision on what we could build seems to have come down to either a swerve drive, or a wheeled tank drive. Which of these designs would you favor for education?

For some context: We are what I would consider a high resource team (full shop with lathe, mill, band saw, etc.) However, despite our resources we don't have a whole lot of collective experience (many more freshman and sophomores than seniors and juniors.)
