Compressors vs. Accumulators

This a question I had after a discussion with some people on AIM. Since the compressors are heavy and are technically unnecessary weight (since you don't need one on the robot), what would you go with and why?

A compressor and an accumulator or no compressor and four accumulators? Explain.

Also since it does depend on the amount of pneumatics you have on your robot and how much air you use in a match, lets for the sake of this discussion say that with autonomous, you can run a successful match with four full accumulators.

Rule clarification:
