Thompson or MP-40 : Whcih do you personally prefer?

During WW2, The Thompsn proved to be one of the best guns that American forces had. For the Germans, one was the MP-40

Both were fast and powerful, but which one would you have picked to use?

Personally, I'd go with the MP-40

The Thompson is what I choose, .45 cal. pistol round. On the other hand the MP40 had these advantages, decently light, 9mm pistol round the British had the Sten in 9MM pistol round so the Germans could pick up Sten ammo from British that had Stens. Folding Butstock.
