I don't know, why don't you tell us.
Who is the better programmer?
Are you doing the drive straight on gear, or the one of the two outside gears?
I believe the drive straight gear can be done with a simple gyro, event better if a IMU, and some encoders.
I believe that the outside ones with distance and turn will need something to compensate/correct for the issues with the turn and longer distances.
Just my gut with no data, so I think you should test both, and determine the accuracy.
